Ss armband/pennants

[bronk]

Picture 1 is printed cotton and pic 2 is of wool. So it is not a picture of just one armband.

I see what you are saying Jerry good eye.

Agreed, the differing photo quality really threw me off! Hope you can get better photos of the fron either way, Bronk. Would be nice to see a few sharp pics of it, disregarding the misinterpretation of photos!

I was not even thinking that bronk. But as many of us here have more than one armband I thought you could have accidently uploaded the wrong image pic that went with it, as I have even done before is all.
But as said a camera can make a difference I agree.

The wool armband with the paper SS RZM tag is correct. It is not a SS pattern armband as it lacks the top and bottom black trim. It has been incorrectly identified as a SS overcoat armband. The true documented purpose of these form armbands is still unkown. What is known as they were available from the early days evidenced of examples found with the early cloth SS RZM tag. The majority of the later types with the paper RZM tag are usually unissued. I have always believed that these were issued to SS auxillaries for wear at SS events. The SS RZM tag indicates that the item was destined for some usage by the SS. Attached are pictures of an earlier piece with a 1936 dated cloth tag.

No foes here. Maybe, at times, a difference of opinion. We like to keep this a friendly place for people to learn.

Well said.

Bronk, Laddie....take a deep breath, relax and let's see if we can figure out what all you've got here. First of all, could you take a couple of Good Closeups of each side of the Knight's Cross? The same too for the silver Eagle clasp? That should be a pretty good start. They are, afterall, your best pieces and most valuable, of course.

The picture with the SS tag looks like the armband is made of wool.. And the picture with the full shot of the nsdap armband looks like its made of cotton? Do you have two armbands?

no, I have some pennants, but I just checked the ser # again...camera different..will post better pics in future..ty for reply
