Thank you for the help.
I was happy to find the small group of items, including this armband.

Jo Rivett has shown that these printed armbands are not late war, but very early items shown in a period catalog. The regulations prohibiting printed armbands are clear but the early catalog shows them offered prior to the regulation against printed armbands being put in place.

Wow. Interesting. Do you have a link to his informstion?

I just found a reference by a dealer with one of these narrow printed armbands for sale. He says that Narrow Printed Party Armband
was to be worn on the lower left sleeve of civilian clothing.


He References "Cloth Insignia of the NSDAP and SA" by John R. Angolia, page 95
Does anyone have this book, and does it reference these armbands on page 95?

That only applies on the larger printed types IMO. This type is likely late war, since some of these are even stamped/printed for volkssturm use.

This one was used after July 1944 when the NSDAP assumed control over all aspects of civil defense...........
