ARM - 138 - FIREMAN'S ARMBAND
This armband
is made of a fairly course harder fabric which is red in color
and has a textured surface. It is almost as hard as a burlap material,
but not quite. This armband has a "V" design which runs
almost its whole forward length. The "V" design is done
in black and white cord. Centered in the "V" letter
is a nickel set of crossed fire axes with a helmet in the center.
The backing of this metal insignia has a green wool material sewn
to the inside of the armband. This armband shows little to no
usage being sewn up the rear. It is a great looker and would be
a fine addition to any Fire collection display.

ARM - 150 - SS COTTON ARMBAND
The
SS cotton armbands are fairly rare as they were used mostly in
the early days and were worn with the SA / SS brown shirt. This
armband shows some age and usage, but it is 100% original. The
cotton still retains its good bright red colors. There are a few
minor pin hole size flaws in the reverse of it, but the obverse
is totally perfect. The armband has the two black lines sewn on
the edges and the center features a sewn white field. Sewn to
the white field is a black swastika. This armband is actually
five-piece construction! A lot of work here. The field shows some
age browning and a minor stain at about 3 o'clock, but other than
that, the front of this armband is in choice condition. There
are also remaining threads where this armband was tacked to a
shirt. These cotton examples are quite rare and this would make
a great display with your SS dagger.

ARM - 158 - SLEEVE AND MATCHING RAILROAD
SERVICE ARMBANDS
This
pair of armbands were apparently worn together, one at the top
of the arm and the other at the sleeve area. They consist of a
dark gray wool fabric measuring approximately 3 ½-inches
wide. The upper arm example has twin narrow bullion tress sewn
along the edges. In the center portion is the word, "Bahndienst."
This word means “rail service” and the letters are formed
using a cotton-like raised out thread. This armband is sewn up
the rear and is in perfect condition. The lower sleeve band is
made of the same wool fabric and also has narrow bullion tress
sewn at both edges. There are three letters on the obverse of
this armband, "HvD". These letters are made using the
same bullion tress that was used on the edges. This armband is
also sewn up the rear. This is a rare set here and would look
great with display of a Railway dagger. Its exact purpose is unknown
to me.

ARM - 168 - ARMY ADJUTANTS DRESS AIGULETTE
CORDS
This
set of aluminum cords was for wear by the adjutant (assistant)
to another officer. These cords are made of weaved bullion and
are in totally perfect condition. They are all set to mount on
your tunic or would make for a great display.

bolt with white weave in the center. This signifies the branch

ARM - 178 - STAHLHELM / SAAR PATCH
This patch
is a colorful item which is bevo sewn on a white background. It
which measures approximately 2 ½ inches by 4 inches. The
depiction is in a shield shape. At the top is the black district
of "Saar", and beneath, is an Imperial-like helmet.
The helmet rests on a red weave, and below this, are the colorful
shields of Bavaria featuring blue checkering and a split black
and white shield. I assume this shield represents the Saar area.
I imagine this patch would have been worn after the annexation
of this area in 1935.

ARM - 179 - NAVAL ENGINEER SLEEVE PATCH
This sleeve
patch is an oval shaped type which is about 4 inches at the wide
diameter. It is made of a hard naval blue wool material. Applied
to the center obverse, is a fairly large gilded metal brass anchor
which has a gear wheel superimposed over it. This is the patch
for a Naval Engineer and would have been worn on the sleeve. It
is quite good looking and would be a great display item.

ARM - 180 - NAVAL NCO SHOULDER BOARD
This NCO shoulder
board has a backing of dark naval blue wool material. The edges
feature a sewn fine gold / yellow color textured tress sewn around.
The center area has a gilded brass anchor, and below the anchor,
are two aluminum pips, and above the anchor, is one pip. I assume
this to be a petty officer's shoulder board. It is great looking
and will go good as a display item.
