Correct RZM tag for NSDAP armband?

[Glenn66]

The big letter 'B', does that signify anything? I've seen NSDAP armbands with both 'B' and 'D'.



Should the number also always be 6 digit?

[BOB COLEMAN]

The letter code denotes the level of tax assesed on an item. On standard armbands, the "B" code was found on cotton examples. The "D" code on wool. The letter are much higher on 4th pattern political armbands with the embroidered oakleaf patterns. A pair of hand embroidered S A general officer tabs would have a "M" code.

The character of such tags is well described in the Mitteilungsblaetter d RZM as well as in the Herstellungvorschriften der RZM.
