| Deutsche Wehrmacht Armband, Printed Variation | |
 |
6GC-85. Approximately 7-1/2-inch wide x 4-1/8-inch high golden/yellow linen armband, with, variation style, printed black lettering, “Deutsche Wehrmacht.” Persons employed by the German Army wore this type armband, for identification purposes. The front and backside exhibits moderate age, light wear, as well as overall moderate, to heavy in some spots, soil, (nothing seriously detracting); the worst spots are in the upper right front corner as seen in the image. The dark orange discoloration that shows up in the image is simply shadows from the scanner, not the soil. A nice example of an unusual printing variation. About Vg. $30.00 |

The front of the tab exhibits light and insignificant signs of age with a very minor bit of wear on the upper left corner; the silver wire border is intact and fully attached.

There are minor spots of moth bites on the top surface of the wool knap, which do not go completely through the wool material; the bites are almost invisible and are not easily seen at a casual glance, but they have left the wool somewhat thin and a little weakened in one spot, (nothing at all of a serious nature), the embroidered design is not affected by the mothing.

| Red Linen, NSDAP, (Nazi Party), Armband – Appears to Be A Wartime Homemade Variation | |
 |
6GC-94. Approximately
4-1/8-inch wide red linen armband, with un-joined ends and a black, HBT,
(herringbone twill), swastika made of separately sewn pieces, which is
sewn onto a variation, white, grained material circle. The black swastika
is in excellent condition; the white circle has darkened a bit over the
years and it is moderately overall soiled from handling and use. The red
linen field is lightly aged and has a few very small and insignificant
spots of soil, (nothing at all serious). The ends of this armband have
never been sewn together and there are very tiny holes on each end where
the armband was once pinned to a uniform, (a common wartime practice). The
black HBT swastika is machine sewn, directly through the white circle, and
the stitching can be seen on the backside, (inside), of the armband. The
HBT swastika; variation white circle; and the sewn through stitching,
greatly contributes to the “homemade” theory, which was a very
common practice throughout the war. A nice example. Vg. $55.00
SOLD
PLEASE NOTE: This armband is in Vg condition. The marks that are visible in the image are shadows caused by the scanner and not actually on the armband; any actual soil that is on the armband is fully described within the listing. |
