DRK Armband with Second Pattern Eagle

DRK Armband with Second Pattern Eagle

Code: 10207

SOLD

Less frequently seen than the duty Armband bearing the simple Red Cross is the DRK (German Red Cross) Armband with a machine embroidered national emblem over the Red Cross on a heavy white cotton band. This is the second pattern eagle.
In the lower field is a circular DRK ink stamp which shows the Ortsgruppe of issue but this is not discernible.
Whilst overall condition is very good and perhaps unissued, the Armband appears at some time to have been affixed for display by the use of adhesive which is obvious on the reverse. A manufacture’s stamp is also visible.
