Attractive - and scarcely seen! - example of a DRB- (ie. 'Deutsche Reichsbahn'-) related armband entitled: 'Im Dienst der Deutschen Reichsbahn', being of the 'entirely-woven'-type in a technique similar to the 'BeVo'-weave pattern
This is a truly attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - typical greyish-coloured example of a DRB- (ie. 'Deutsche Reichsbahn'-) related armband (ie. 'Armbinde') entitled: 'Im Dienst der Deutschen Reichsbahn' being of the 'entirely-woven'-type in a technique similar to the 'BeVo'-weave pattern and that comes in a minimally used- ie. most certainly worn, condition. These linnen-based armbands were presumably intended for usage by military staff-members attached to the DRB- (ie. 'Deutsche Reichsbahn'-) and were presumably worn on the left upper-arm of the regular WH (Heeres) greatcoats and/or tunics. This example - which has been 'off-factory sewn-together - has a total size of approximately 38 cms. and is 10 cms. wide - and is constructed from greyish-coloured linnen and shows the neatly interwoven text: 'Im Dienst der Deutschen Reichsbahn'. The armband is void of an ink-stamp (ie. 'Dienstsiegel') and is just a tiny bit stained and is moreover a tiny bit wrinkled (it does show some minimal glue-remains on its back, simply caused by having been glued into an album or scrapbook as can be seen on the pictures). The piece is very nicely made and shows only moderate age ie. staining (simply caused by decades of storage and/or moderate wear). This example originates from a larger-sized armband-collection that was compiled over the years and that I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply a very attractive - and with certainty scarcely encountered! - DRB- (ie. 'Deutsche Reichsbahn'-) related armband that is accordingly priced!
