Der Standortführer Starkenburg cufftitle/armband

Something I just picked up, Apparently these were worn by a Police, of sorts, for the SA (Streifendienst, as I've gathered). I sometimes make these odd pickups, just liked the look and it seems to be an interesting and pretty scarce cufftitle/armband... think it will go well with my little SA/political display

Any thoughts? These seems to vary quite a bit in terms of quality and execution but I feel this one's good --- open to be proven wrong though, seller is trustworthy and reliable and it's not 100% finalized yet... so, please share opinions.

Excellent Find...Local Command Cuff-Title (I'm assuming SA or NSKK)...I grew up very close to that area of the Bergstrasse in Hessen...The Starkenburg itself is a Castle close to Heppenheim...Well done, that's a Keeper for sure!

cheers, Glenn

Thank you, Glenn... what a nice coincidence! You'll definitely be the first I contact if I decided to pass it on! A beautiful place indeed ---

There is no standard pattern for these as they were all locally fabricated without any RZM direction. They are not common being early pieces. Over the years I have seen around eight. All were fabricated differently. A nice early piece.

Nice to have further confirmation that it's good--- appreciate it, Bob!

Thought I'd add these rare photos showing this type of cufftitle in wear by men in a Streifendienst unit. The cufftitle here reads "Der Standortführer München".
