Code: 10176

SOLD

A very good undamaged example of the “Deutsche Wehrmacht”, (German Armed Forces) Armband which was one of the armbands introduced with the Army Mobilization Order of March 12th 1937 and was designed for wear by non-uniformed personnel serving with the Armed Forces. New regulations of October 1st 1941 restricted wear of this armband to non-uniformed non-combatant personnel.
Black printed script on a yellow cotton band this is the far rarer variation with printing in block capitals rather than Gothic lettering.
One of a number of souvenirs brought back by a wounded soldier after his release from hospital in Klagenfurt in 1945
