Description
You are bidding on a VERY NICE and 100% ORIGINAL WW2 German Wehrmacht “Deutsche Wehrmacht” Armbinde (Identification Armband). This original wartime armband was obtained as a veteran bring-back together with the Hitlerjugend armband previously listed.
These yellow Deutsche Wehrmacht identification armbands were worn by personnel associated with the German armed forces when it was necessary to visibly identify their official connection with the Wehrmacht while not wearing a standard military uniform. They were used by various military personnel, auxiliaries and individuals performing official Wehrmacht duties. The highly visible yellow field with large black “Deutsche Wehrmacht” lettering allowed the wearer’s status to be immediately recognized. These armbands were manufactured in several wartime variations, including printed and machine-woven examples.
Made of lightweight yellow cotton cloth material, this example is in EXCELLENT used condition. There is only slight minor age and storage wear with no major marks or damage. The entire design is printed directly onto the cloth, including the large black Gothic-style “Deutsche Wehrmacht” lettering, which remains extremely dark, sharp and clearly defined. The yellow field retains exceptionally strong original color throughout. A beautiful original wartime example, PERFECT for any German Wehrmacht uniform, insignia or WW2 collection or display!
