Hi Kyles
Do you have other pictures of this style in wear for the boys of the HJ.
It looks as though he is wearing a cross rather than the Y shape.
there is one over at Hiscoll for 250 euro.

PM sent Pete.


Here is my newest one. Not necessarily German, but still NS in ideal so IMO it still counts. It's for the Flokkur Þjóðernissinna. Flokkur Þjóðernissinna translates to Nationalist Party in Icelandic. As the design and being in Icelandic suggests, it's for the Iceland Nazi Party.

Some history from online if anybody is interested about the party: Formed in 1934, it had a small and short lived overall influence. It reached as high as 450 members before a large arrest of members took place in 1938, and parades stopped. In 1940, the British invaded Iceland, which sent the party into hiding until it's end in 1944. Most of the items from the party were destroyed when the British took control or relatives destroy it upon finding it. This came from a large group of this type of armband from a grouping of a party member newspaper distributor. Newspaper distributors also had the job of giving out armbands and other types of insignia.

Sorry for the bad inside pictures, but the armband is very stiff, so wasn't going to force it to go inside out. It's so stiff because all the blue is printed onto a plain white band.

The only one I have which I thought might be worth showing.

Nice 1936 Olympic armband!

And I think almost all of the Iceland armbands like this one around are from I source found in Iceland.

Next is some feuerwehr armbands from a group uncovered. I however have not had much luck in finding what each type means. Anybody have any information on them? This I believe has some type of tactical marking from what I have been able to figure out.

I tried to get this one inside out, but it was too stiff to do that.

Next is this plain red one. I wish the stamp was readable, but it isn't. They were stored pretty poorly by the way they smell and the condition they came in (had to work hard at getting the dirt and mold off as good as I did). So the stamps probably bled.

Very heavy duty construction

The condition issue on this one is more prominent with the ink stamp bleeding from another on the back and the red color from another band.
