Although never positively identified, at least one authoritative work on the subject suggests these DAF (German Labour Front) Armbands were worn by Ordnance Inspectors. A white W is machine embroidered on a red field applied to a felt armband. In this case a DAF membership pin has been randomly attached, a practice which appears to be infrequently encountered and unofficial. The reverse of the pin shows an RZM symbol with M 1/47. The felt band shows some moth damage.

British Indian Army Emergency Commission Wristwatch A small British military Wristwatch by Mora, the case measuring only about 29mm x 22mm the case back marked with the War Department arrow and EC 14427, EC standing for Emergency Commission, 14427 being the officer’s service number in the Indian Army. The majority of the officers in the British Indian Army were British men who had joined the Army, trained at Sandhurst and then been admitted to the British Indian Army. The Watch is in poor condition and not in working order. The dial has darkened and the subsidiary second hand is missing. Both fixed strap bars are bent. A rather scarce military watch perhaps worthy of restoration, the service number possibly allowing for identification of the original owner.
