SS Armband help

[hcliffe]

How does this one look? Are horizontal stripes on the white background okay?

[Bob Hritz]

I have seen several original armbands and a tunic that have this feature. I believe they were for smaller size tunics and the armband was disassembled, the elongated white portion rotated, the red field made more narrow and the borders replaced.

Very interesting theory Bob. Thanks to you both for your input.

I have just been digging around and cannot find the one I had. Perhaps I sold or traded it. Does yours have a bevo RZM tag?

There are many SA/nsdap armbands with the horizontal ribs,also have seen SS like this too,they do exist,there is an NSDAP one like it on Collectors Guild and a PL one too,I also own a period one with teh horizontal ribs on a tunic.Not as commonplace for SS but they are there.

Hi Bob, do not know if this armband has a tag or not, contacted the seller with that question without response.

Hi bob, just received this one from the seller. No RZM tag present. This one does appear to be smaller than the typical SS armband.

Come to think of it i also had a smaller one like this from collectors guild,it had the later paper tag.
