Nazi Armbands

[kplatania]

My father gave me 2 glass cases of WW2 Nazi armbands. He is a huge collector. I have researched most of these and I am just wondering if I am correct. He wants to pare down the collection and he has enlisted my help to catalog and find approximate pricing. If I accomplish this task to his satisfaction, the rest of the collection will also need to be researched. My dad collects everything Nazi that he can find. He even has a mannequin dressed in full SS gear, boots, jewelry EVERYTHING!
I've attached photos of the 2 cases of armbands. I would appreciate any guidance available.

Thanks!

Hey kplantania,

Here's some information on those armbands.

LEFT PICTURE

WAFFEN-SS

This armband is the band worn by persons who were helpers to the Waffen-SS personnel. Often they were Allgemeine-SS people who wore the black uniform. This would indicate that they were temporaries working with the military branch.

HITLER YOUTH

The red and white band on the left was worn by hitler youth personal.

I'll get back to you later I have to step out for a couple hours.

I was under the belief that these armbands are all pure fantasy and never existed at all during the TR.

So are you saying that this style of armband did exist during the TR?

[SS Ring Man]

No it just that of the 10,000 or so that I have seen over the years this one is copyed the most,for some unknow reson???

Here's some better pics of the SS/FM armband. I can't get a very clear picture of the label on the inside.
It's numbered... 4973 if that means anything...
