Superb - and just moderately used! - so-called: 'Allgemeine-SS'-related armband (ie. 'Armbinde') showing a separately-applied swastika (ie. roundel) and having the (rarely seen!) machine-woven 'SS/RzM 156/35'-etiket(s) in place
This is a very attractive - and I deem just moderately worn- ie. used! - example of a 'pre-war'-period so-called: 'Allgemeine-SS'-related armband (ie. 'Armbinde') showing a separately-applied swastika (ie. roundel) and having the (rarely seen!) machine-woven: 'Vom Reichsführer SS befohlene Ausführung - SS-RzM'- and/or: '156/35'-etikets in place and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. These smooth-woolen-based armbands were 'standard-issue' for usage by the various Allgemeine-SS members and/or officials (and were intended to be worn on the various black-coloured attire) and were worn on the left upper-arm. This example - having a total size of 42 cms. - is approximately 12 cms. wide as more often encountered - is neatly constructed from bright-red-coloured wool and shows a neat (linnen-based- and typically interwoven!) 'roundel' that shows a black-coloured swastika in place. This swastika as well as both borders are executed from typical rib-cord linnen as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). This example is truly nicely made and does just show some minimal age ie. staining (and two tiny moth-holes) simply caused by decades of storage and/or moderate usage: it comes nicely sewn-together as found but comes a tiny bit loose on one end (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very attractive - and truly rarely found! - 'Allgemeine-SS'-related item that is with certainty accordingly priced!
