Auxiliary armbands

Post by Krupp »

I was wondering if these were made in the field or were they actually manufactured for FG units?

I've only ever seen either embroidered or printed types. I'll have a look through sone photos and see if I can find any that look field made.

According to the info I have, a stock of them was held for use when auxillaries had to be deployed. I have no idea how many, and I would assume they were held by the Feld. Gend. unit.

No problem.

I've had a look and all the pictures I have where the armband is vsible enough show it to be of the same style as the printed/embroidered ones. I suspect there were field made ones, but as I can't substantiate this claim, I'll leave it as a hypothesis!

Now, the question is: "Where in the heck can one find a green band with the word 'Feldgendarmerie' done in black lettering?" There was one place but it had bad reviews. I might have to make one.

The lettering was in yellow, not black!

Cyrus has them at http://www.soldat.com and I think you can get them from http://www.militaria-net.co.uk

Thanks again Dave. I think the one from "Soldat" is perfect for me. It's the Hilfs armband. Expensive though. My NCO is a vendor so maybe he can get a deal on a bunch of them for our unit.

Ours came from Soldat - they are good quality and the lettering style corresponds very well with an original.
