Thanks Nick! After looking at the volunteer shields and collar tabs online for so long I didn't realise how much smaller they are then I realised!
The HJ armband is a controversial late-war screen printed version.
Thanks, Glen.

Hello Dave, thank you. I am not going to concentrate on anything I will just buy whatever comes my way. But I do like to buy foreign volunteer and collaborationist items when I can.
Thanks, Glen.

Thanks, Glen.
Printed armbands have been observed in early period catalogs pre war, not late war as often stated. The RZM specifically states that printed armbands were not allowed to be used. These were used prior to the RZM prohibition on printed armbands as shown by Jo if you follow the links in this thread. IMO real evidence of the early use of these and not late war as collector lore often states. Here is a link where a similar item was discussed and links to Jo's research on these printed armbands.
