NSDAP Three Piece Armband – Wool

Product Description:  An original NSDAP Three Piece Armband – Wool, executed in the classic period style and constructed from finely woven red wool. The obverse displays a separately applied white ribbed roundel centered by a black ribbed-fabric swastika, each element expertly machine stitched to the field in a manner consistent with recognized wartime manufacture. The upper and lower edges are neatly finished, while the ends are joined by period machine stitching.

The NSDAP Three Piece Armband – Wool retains an excellent nap throughout the wool body, exhibiting only a few areas of thinning and a single pinhole to the reverse seam. Minor spotting is present to the roundel, though the fabric remains entirely free from tears or structural damage. Despite light evidence of age and service wear, the armband preserves a notably vibrant coloration and presents in excellent overall condition.

Historical Description: Nearly every military, civil, political, and paramilitary organization in existence during the Third Reich used armbands. Armbands were worn on military and civilian uniforms and also on civilian clothes, from suit jackets to work clothing. They were used to denote membership in organizations, to indicate a specific role or function of the bearer, and as insignia of rank. Many organizations would change the design of their armbands over time, which added to the variety produced. These were manufactured in countless variations, ranging from simple printed bands to elaborately hand-embroidered pieces of the highest quality. Some Nazi armbands were worn by all members of large organizations and were made by the millions. Others were intended for use at a specific time and place and were unique. Many types were made in very limited numbers. Some bore metal insignia or special identifiers that indicated the wearer’s rank, unit affiliation, or nationality. Armbands were sometimes but not always marked with ink stamps by the issuing authorities.
