Had someone ask me what this gray armband was for? Looks just like a regular one, but gray. Appears to be original in every way.

I'm positive it a SA Reservist's Armband. Looks killer!
Hi Martin, I would agree, SA Reserve.
Cheers, Ade.
Martin Thank's for showing this armband had I seen it at a show I would have walked by it thinking it was fake. Very nice. Gary
I'm with you Gary, never seen such an animal. I've got alot to learn.
Wasn't there a SA reservist armband with gray stripes like an SS also ?

If this should be a SA reservist armband then it must be the SA 1 . The SA reserve 1 members came from Stahlhelmbund. The SA reserve 2 wear only the red swastika armband with a 1cm silvergrey stripe on top and bottom border.
I just found somehting that should be of interest here - A recently sold Stahlhelmbund tunic sporting one of those grey Swastika armbands:
Hamburg Stahlhelm Bund Tunic And Cap Set-SOLD
Provided this is an untouched orignial, it would appear that these brassards were specifically made for wear with the field-grey Stahlhelmbund uniforms during the transitional period when the Stahlhelmbund was subordinated to and eventually absorbed by the SA.
