SS Member\'s Armband (Kampfbinde).In April 1925 the fledgling Schutzkommando, introduced its own version of the standard NSDAP - Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Worker\'s Party), swastika armband by the addition of black stripes to both the top and bottom edge to differentiate SS personnel from SA (Storm/Assault Detachment), personnel, since both groups were outfitted with the traditional brown shirt \"uniform\" at that period in time.The SS armband was worn on the black service dress and the early field-grey uniforms, until it was replaced with the SS-VT, SS-Verfügungstruppe (SS-Special Purpose Troops), sleeve eagle in May 1936.Nice quality multi-piece construction armband features a red wool, base field with a central, vertically ribbed, white rayon, circular field with a canted, ribbed, black rayon tape swastika to the front center.The top and bottom edges of the armband are bordered in the correct, wide, (8mm wide), horizontal ribbed, black rayon tape. The central white circular field. The swastika and the top and bottom edge border trim are all machine stitched to the armband. The reverse of the armband has a machine stitched, vertical, seam.
