    Presse armband, what is it?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Aside from the obvious "Press" newspaper media association, it would be hard to determine period, etc without more details about its provenance. It would be worn by military or civilian press representatives as a means of identification.

    Here's a current Bundeswehr version that looks almost identical to yours.

      Thanks! I have no providence, came with a lot of other items. Very cool picture of the Bundeswehr. Mine does not glow, so I'm guessing it is WWII era.

          Before assuming it is WWII era, I would like to see a period photo of this armband in wear.

          I can't recall seeing this type of stencil font on anything from Germany in WWII.
