This civilian armband is the red cotton type, having a bevo white field as well as a black bevo weaved mobile swastika.

ARM007 - 27057 SS Woolen Armband

The white satin field is also lined, and it is a slightly oblong shape. This field is separately sewn to the red wool. Also separately sewn to the field, is a black lined mobile satin swastika.

Sewn to the center of the armband is a diamond-shaped white field. Sewn to the field in bevo-style is a black mobile swastika.

The inside of the armband has its original paper issue tag. It is an off-white color paper, which is printed in red with RZM markings, as well as the Hitler Youth diamond, with swastika and other Party information. A fine display example here, which would look great with a Hitler Youth knife. Mint 27055 $165.00

ARM010 - 27053 Reich Level Political Armband with Tag

This woolen red Reich level armband is rarely seen. It has the yellow border, which signifies the highest level of the German political leaders. This is the Reich level. Just in from the gold border is another very narrow gold stripe, signifying a low level, “Mitarbeiter Political Band”. The woolen material throughout is in perfect condition, with no problems whatsoever. In the center, there is a white satin field. There are four tiny pinholes in this satin field, as well as a slightly larger hole about the size of a piece of rice, at the 10 o’clock area. This is a shame, but it is such a rare armband, this fault should be able to be overlooked. The round field is decorated with a gold cord, and in the center, there is a black satin mobile swastika, which is also decorated with the same gold cord. Inside of the armband, the original off-white and blue printed issue tag is intact. This tag has the blue RZM printing with the number “349” stamped, and below, a run number of “141239”. This is a very rarely seen armband and maybe one of the only rare chance to pick one up. For some reason, the lower level Reich Level armbands seem to be rarer than the higher level types.

ARM014 - 27160 Hitler Youth Printed Armband

I have sold many Hitler Youth Armbands over the years, but this is the first original example I have seen that is printed. From a distance, it looks the same as the 3-piece types. The color of the red is just slightly more rich than the 3-piece types. It is an all-cotton type, having the traditional white line in the center of the armband, and the diamond shape with the mobile swastika also positioned in the center.

The detail throughout is extraordinary and in totally new-like condition. The reverse of the armband at one end has a stamped arrow with the word “Ober” above it. I assume that this was to indicate to the wearer which direction was up. Further, there is the original paper issue tag at the center of the reverse armband.
