NSDAP Two Piece Armband With RZM Tag

Product Description: This NSDAP Two Piece Armband With RZM Tag is an extremely crisp piece, with a great look. The swastika has been printed on a roundel of thin white fabric, which has been neatly machine stitched to the red cotton band. The printing is nice and clean, and the armband retains bold original color throughout. It’s finished with machine stitching along the top and bottom edges, and is also sewn together on the reverse, as it would have been when worn. Inside, the roundel stitching is visible, and the original RZM paper tag is still present. The tag is complete with the exception of one small corner, and is marked with the round logo of the Reichszeugmeisterei and a “B” tax code. There is also some period done writing on the tag which is likely a sales price. There is no indication that this NSDAP two piece armband with RZM tag has ever been worn. The condition is close to near mint; it’s a choice example.

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.
