Have a look at this armband.

Re: Have a look at this armband.
Never seen one exactly like this before. But I think it might be good. Most likely done for use at a special one off event. Certainly worthy of some more research.
I take it you do realise that Hans Rickmers of one of the Nazis killed on November 9th 1923? His remains were buried at the Feldherrnhalle in Munich.
Cheers, Ade.
Re: Have a look at this armband.
No I did not realize that, but thank you Ade.
Just a very odd piece. I don't understand why the national symbol would be covered up, and with something so poorly made. I thought it might have been something done post war, like for a work detail, using surplus.
Re: Have a look at this armband.
Ah, glad to help!
A closer look at the ink stamps would be worthwhile.
Cheers, Ade.
Re: Have a look at this armband.
I'm no armband expert. Most of the time I think real ones are fake, and fakes are real. That is why its nice to have Ade around. However, to have an exercise in logic, most fakes are trying to look like something well known. Since this is an unknown design and setup, I would think that the chances of it being real are a little better.

interesting way to put it.
I will try to get some better pics of the stamps Ade.

Hi Dan, yes, that is sometimes the shortened version of the name.
Cheers, Ade.
