First (and probably only) NSDAP Kamfbinde- thoughts

Hi everyone,

I broke my own vow to not get one of these, but I weakened. There are a couple of odd things I noticed after the fact: the disk is not exactly centered vertically on the band itself, the bevo weave has sort of "tightened" the disk's fabric in one direction (distorting the swastika a tad)…

… and I know nothing about RZM tags.

What can I say… it was an impulse buy, but I hope it was a good one.

Best regards,

G. Kelly

Looks like a good one.

I have a similar very salty version .

I like the price being written on the tag!

Thanks to all for the replies.

I saw the handwritten price and first thought to myself, "Who would have paid 45 marks for this thing back then?" Then it dawned on me that "Rm - 45" meant 45 pfennigs.

Given an assumption of an average wage of Rm 30 back in pre-war Germany and converting that to an average wage of say, USD1000 per week these days it can roughly be translated that Rm -45 is equivalent to about $15 today. Which is what I might expect to pay today for a cloth armband.

Should I ever be inclined to want to wear one.
