Question - Luftschutz Medics Armband ?

[soldon]

Bought this, what I take to be Luftschutz Sanitätsgruppe Armband at the weekend, I think its genuine, but I have a couple of questions. After looking at a number of Luftschutz armbands (didn't find any that matched mine) in the internet. Noticed a number of these have a small number 7 embroidered on the back, anyone know if its a makers number, if so who ? or anything about the number ? second point I always thought the medical staff had a dark cornflower blue colour, not a sky blue colour like this one, don't think the colour been lost in washing. Anyone have info about this armband ?

I have seen the number referred to as the maker. It is a luftschutz medic but they also came in light blue so there is 2 variations of these.... Looks original to me....

Also here is a type that has a 18 rather then a 7..... from an old ebay auction...

Thanks for the posts Kyles, I didn't know the armbands came in two variants both cornflower blue & sky blue. I did find a standard luftschutz armband also with a small embroidered No 7, would seem the maker firm did various armbands for the luftschutz. Again thanks for the help.

Here's one of mine non uniformed personnel RLB (the star with swastika). It has a 32....
So there is a lot of different ones. I have seen them say BEVO Wuppertal on the back as well

Kyle - would it be right to think, all suppliers of armbands were required by the Luftschutz organization to include their makers number on their armbands ?

It seems only on the later light blue ones as few of the cornflower blue ones have any marking....
Here is one on the E-stand that sold. It has what looks to be a 31??
