WH (Heeres ie. Kriegsmarine) armband (or: 'Dienst-Armbinde') as was (presumably) intended for (graduated-) staff-members serving within one of the army- ie. naval, officers'-cadet-schools

This is a truly attractive - and with certainty rarely encountered! - WH (Heeres ie. Kriegsmarine) armband (or: 'Dienst-Armbinde') as was (presumably) intended for (graduated) staff-members serving within one of the army- (ie. naval-) officers' cadet-schools and that comes in overall very nice- (ie. minimally used- and/or worn-) condition. The neat armband - which measures 39 x 10,5 cms. - shows the typical WH eagle-device as woven in black-coloured(!) linnen onto a white-(ie. somewhat beige-coloured and/or minimally stained) linnen-based background. The eagle - which is period attached to the armband by means of period machine-stitching - is neatly executed in 'BeVo'-weave pattern and is only the third such rare example I have ever encountered. The piece - which has clearly been used and worn and shows some obvious wear, age and/or staining - has furthermore the (typical-) light-blue coloured borders but is not 'enclosed' within a frame of similar braid. (Note: It might therefore have been intended for usage by cadets ie. junior-officers who did not yet fully completed their training). This example originates from a larger-sized cloth-insignia-collection that was compiled over the years and that I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply a very attractive - and with certainty rarely seen! - Heeres- (ie. eventually Kriegsmarine-) related 'Armbinde' which is I deem priced according to its desirability and/or unmistaken rarity!
