Product Description: This is an exceptional, unissued example of an SA Wehrmannschaft armband. Which collectors have called, “SA Sports Armband”. Formed in 1939, the SA-Wehrmannschaft served as the military training and homeland defense arm of the SA, preparing members both before and after their service in the Wehrmacht. By May 1944, more than three million Germans had taken part in this program, making these armbands an important component of late-war SA organizational insignia.

This textbook original example features a beautifully executed, machine-woven Bevo emblem depicting the SA Sports Badge in brown and gold thread on a white backing. The emblem is factory-stitched to a band of thin red cotton, classic for this type. The colors remain bright with only minor age toning from storage. There are no signs of wear, tears, rips, or discoloration.

The reverse shows faint residue from where the armband was once mounted for display. Inside, the armband retains its intact original RZM label, correctly printed with the “B” tax code, RZM logo, and stamped manufacturer number A4 308.

Overall, this SA Wehrmannschaft armband is an outstanding, clean, completely unissued in excellent+ 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.
