Hey Andrew! You're not far off the mark buddy! The buckles I have left to to add to the collection are getting harder and harder to find! ......but I've always loved armbands as well!
Cheers buddy!

hey, very nice luft band, i have the Heer version apparently, could you explain why multiple branches share similar designs. Were these for joint operations or something. I have heard mine was for AA gunners, and i have heard it was for cadets. i do not know enough about the subject. i would appreciate it.
thanks-comrade

Hey! I've gotten two explanations on this armband.....Brian Davis' book claims these were used by the Luftwaffe Officer Cadet Schools, whereas Collector's Guild says it's a Deputy Air protection Leader's armband.....
Anyhoot....I'm not sure who's right and who's not...but it's an armband that is not easy to find.
Glad you like it - I'd love to see your Heer example if you could post pics!

Cheers!
