Rob-
Nice aquisition. In the 1960's, I had the Heer and Kreigsmarine versions of this armband. They are not common as you mentioned. I do not believe I have seen a period picture of any version of this armband being worn. Of course, I have also never seen a period image of the SA Wehrmannschaft armband in wear(AKA as the SA Sports Armband, which it is not).

Re: Luftwaffe armband added to collection
Hi Bob! Thanks! Glad you like it. I too have never seen any pics of those armbands you mentioned in wear....there has to be some out there in a dusty photo album. I've seen the KM and Heer versions as well....They are quite cool! I especially like the Heer version.
Cheers!

Re: Luftwaffe armband added to collection
Bob,
What are the differences between the Heer and the Kreigsmarine armbands?

Re: Luftwaffe armband added to collection
The Heer and Kreigsmarine armbands are all the same basic pattern. The Heer model has a black thread Heer form national emblem and the Kreigsmarine has a black anchor with yellow rope. It is possible that these armbands were intended for wear while the candidate was wearing civilian clothing

Re: Luftwaffe armband added to collection
I asked because I was thinking it might have been like the Heer and Kreigs sport shirt patches, black or blue eagles. Now I remember that I have seen the anchor armband in one of Brian Davis' books. Have you ever seen any of these cadet armbands without the vertical stripes?
