Question: Arm Band Stamping - Help!

[wpheaton]

I am looking at this arm band and wonder if anyone can tell me what this stamped message is on the inside? He said he would take $75.

It is the makers names and details.

An original pre RZM item in my opinion.

Cheers, Ade.

The company name is:

"Mitteldeutsche Uniformen-
u. [= und] Ausrüstungs[...]ätten [certainly Ausrüstungswerkstätten]
Inh. [= Inhaber] Kurt Re[...]
Halle (Saale) Viehhofstraße [...]"

...meaning:

"Central German Uniform-
and Equipment Workshops
Kurt Re[...], proprietor
Halle (Saale) Viehhofstraße [...]"

(Halle an der Saale is a city in Saxony-Anhalt.)

Is it at all desirable? What might be the year of production?

It is likely a pre-1935 example...the stamp gives it character and $75 is a good price...
