AS FOUND**Original, WW2 Era Nazi German NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers Party) 2 Piece Construction Arm Band. Sn 23469 - 23469

These armbands were originally adopted to distinguish members of the NSDAP from members of other political parties (see page 108 of Service badges and emblems- Third Reich Cloth Insignia by B.L.Davies & I. Westwell), this was particularly important for the proto-SA whose only uniform, if they had one, was that of the old Imperial Army or of the various Freekorps of which many were veterans. The Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (the Nazi party) armband was worn on the left upper arm. Its quality depended on the budget of the wearer. This is an excellent, original Nazi Party arm band in nice clean condition. The armband is made of blood red cotton material with central stitched white roundel panel with black ink stamped Swastika. The edges of the armband and roundel have the correct intricate stitching found on period Nazi items, minor fraying in areas which can be seen in the images. Image 3 illustrates the inside of the armband. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 23469 (Armbands box)
