A friend brought this to me to ID. I have no idea if it is East or West German. The only mark is a 16mm on one of the buckles. David

These armbands are very common and I see them alot on German Ebay, One really had me wondering (GODH), until I found out what it meant

It's Army, and has nothing to do with dog handlers. ODH stands for Operativdiensthabender = operative on dutyComment

Thanks for pointing that out, There is so many of these on German Ebay where the description states that it is for Ordner Diensthunde and on GODH=Gehelfer Ordner Diensthunde.Originally posted by ehrentitle View PostComment

GODH is Gehilfe des Operativdiensthabenden = Assistant to the Operational Duty OfficerComment

Kevin is right, not these Ebay Idiots. One offers something wrong and everybody believes it. You can read everything in the Regulations and References, so again, Kevin is right. GODH is the "Gehilfe des Operativ Diensthabenden". Sometimes, ODH is also called Offizier des Hauses, what is not 100% right, but as it is normally an Officer who wears the Brassard and he's responsible for everything going on in the House, it's his profession. By the Way, Kevin also had a little mistake, the Brassard was worn by both, the NVA and MdI.Comment

Thanks Guys!!!!!!Comment

Thanks Nico. These positions would be roughly similar to Staff Duty Officer and Assistant in the US Army. These would be personnel on duty on nights and weekends.Originally posted by uscob View PostComment

It's the Collectors Bible for all Rank, Profession, Special and other Insignia.
OK, they're expensive, as also the New Catalogs on Decorations. I think they published 8 or so and each is about 30 to 35 Euro's. I had to buy them to ID and value Stuff, but I must say that sometimes really rare things to cheap and common Stuff is overpriced. Especially with the new Prices for Gold and Silver, most of the Stuff can't be sold for Catalog Prices.
But this is the same Problem with most catalogs. I recently bought British Medals by the Silver Price, what was 3 times more as the Catalog Price of the Medal.Comment

Kevin and Nico.
It is ironic, but I think these Arm Bands (particularly if there is one for 24/7 duty) should be issued to each of you. Thank you for your service.

I will search for these books on torrent and warez sites as I can't buy anything that expensive,/have a new car and have to keep enough to pay insurance and car payments. I'm sure they are floating around on the many warez or torrent sites like every other book known to the WorldOriginally posted by Michael D. Gallagher View Post
