This is an attractive - truly used and not that easily encountered! - N.S.D.A.P.-pattern, smooth-woolen-based swastika-armband (ie. 'Armbinde') being an example of the so-called: 'Extra Qualität'-type and that comes in an overall nice- (I deem clearly used- and/or worn-), condition. The neat piece - which is constructed from the somewhat darker-red-coloured- and/or typical 'smooth-type'- (ie. moleskin-type) wool showing a seperately attached (linnen-based) roundel and (interwoven) swastika as to be expected - comes in a nice condition overall: it is period stitched-together and measures approximately 40 x 11 cms. The armband is not piped as to be expected but misses its (presumably once-present) paper-based: 'RzM'-etiket (something that is more often encountered). The armband shows some moderate age, wear and staining simply caused by having been worn as such and having being stored as such for decades. These generic swastika-armbands were worn on the left upper-arm and were intended for usage by the various N.S.D.A.P.-party-members and/or officials (but were also worn by members of various other Third Reich organisations such as for example the members of the N.S.K.K., RAD, SS and/or SA to mention a few). In any case is this an attractive - and with certainty not that easily encountered! - swastika 'Armbinde' of the 'Extra Qualität' that comes not that often offered for sale. I deem that this acttractive - and truly used! - example is accordingly priced!
