Nice Blue Piped Armband

[S. McKibben]

This is a nice armband I picked up this weekend. I believe it to be a Political Armband with the blue piping.

Your armband is a product of the 1939 revision and expansion of the NSDAP Uniform Code; it denotes the position of an Ortsgruppe Politischer-Leiter-Anwärter -- a Political Leader Candidate at the Local Level. You can find a photo of this armband on p.172 of Jeff Clark's excellent reference book, "Uniforms of the NSDAP."

Wow...I would have passed on this thinking it a fake. The arms look too narrow and the round field looks small on the red armband. Woulda been my loss. Now I know.

Thanks again for the great info.
