SS Kampfbinde (Armband) uniform attached

**NDShooter** · 12-03-2011, 02:23 AM

Hello Everyone;

I have stayed away from this area of the forum after our last fiasco.
This armband must of been cut by some GI after the war or something.

Enjoy

Looks like a nice example of a classic three piece construction wool kampfbinde.

Regards,

Carl

a little reprise in this matter.

You will want to look very closely at the remnants of the tunic sleeve and its construction to determine if it is of the era.

The visual evidence on the sleeve part as well as the brassard part are here in their rich texture and diversity, as it were.

Indeed. In all their splendour. A magnificent display. It was no accident that black, red and white were chosen...it was as a result of a study on which colours "stand out" the most and have the strongest impact in a visual sense. Here, is a classic example of how right they were.

The piece is question does come from a dealer known to me who has handled many black SS uniforms, and from whom I have bought some of same, to include SS Kampfbinden.
I have no commercial interest in same, but I know that others here deal with this figure.

Nice one!

@ FB :

Most NON- 3 piece contruction SS armbands getting a thumbs down because people don't know of their existance. ( or just thinking they are put to gether or re-sewn NSDAP armbands( Like the Bevo ones))
Could you show us some other examples that are proved orginals?

Well from the information that I can determine from these photographs from FB here I conclude that the sleeve material looks to be period.
The dealer I work with knows his SS regalia very well.
I wish my Class A's stood out like these uniforms!

Thanks FB!

The cotton types existed for the brown shirt and are depicted on the Whammond site, as well as the Herman site, actually.
I only concern myself with the woolen type for the black tunic, for reasons you can discern in my posts.\

Happy foetid pieces may they be three or two or none.
