As for armbands I think that timing is a factor with them, on good terms with Hitler and the NSDAP, in 1933 Hitler authorized the Bahnschutz to wear NSDAP badges and insignia on their uniforms - to include the party armband. More to the main point here, in Russia the Heeres Feldbahn was responsible for transport to the front, with the Reichsbahn involved with the great bulk of transport behind the lines with the Bahnschutz both accompanying the trains, and patrolling some of the major terminals. The Feldeisenbahner who were professional railroad personnel drawn from the ranks of the German Railway system assigned to the Army/Wehrmacht, not the W-SS. To assist further research the title of the March 1, 1944 document is stated to be: “Anlaß des Reichministers des Innern und des Reichsverkehrsministeriums”. Best Regards, Fred

Regardless, it was about the combatant status. This was - at least officially - "loaned" by wearing the appropriate bracelets to members of the Reichsbahn.

Hi,
yes the S84 / 98n.A. from the WW1 had a long life. Not least because Unmegen were produced until 1918. They were worn until at least 1945 and partly in the GDR much longer.

Such a pistol grip can be found in the German German Reich Revolver M1883 and some civil / privately purchased models.

Yes, it does look like it could be a M1883 revolver with the lanyard ring removed from the bottom of the grip. A reliable weapon, but not that efficient to use as compared to what they used later on. Best Regards, Fred
