Can someone explain me, why SS-mann had SS Ärmelband for führer? :-)
Or it isn't führer Ärmelband? And if not, what does this Ärmelband mean?
Thank you!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was normal for any personell of the Algemeine SS to have a cufftitle to signify what standarte you belonged to?

See this thread here:
Discontunation of Coloured borders on Titles
And, especially, this one...
Question Allgemeine SS cuff title 5
Lesen Sie das und alles klar.
In other words, in the late spring of 1937, the cuff titles with the colored borders were phased out, in stages....as the RZM article above indicates.
I hate to be a pill, but the stripes might also be red, but a Sturmband is a Sturmband, and a Standarte is not a Sturmbann is not a Sturm, as it were.
Much of what is in secondary works about Allgemeine SS insignia is either incomplete or wrong.
The price-list included with the Mitteilungsblatt der RZM from December 15, 1934 mentions number 8 with a dark-blue piping,
the number being in silver-grey/aluminum.
The price-list from mid-1936 does mention the same as mentioned above, but also cuffbands with the number 1 through 9 (arabisch)
with aluminum pipings and aluminum embroidery.
The same list mentions for Sturm 5 through 8 darker-blue pipings; Sturm 1 through 9 yellow. So, there are some possibilities for the
number and piping for the shown photograph. It is practically impossible the piping is darker-blue with the shown photo with post 1,
but aluminum or yellow is possible.
