Group of four items related to the "Nazionalsozialisticher Deutscher Studeentenbund" ("National Socialist German Students' League"). Includes: NSDStB armband, 4 1/2"x 8 1/2", consisting of red cloth, with two parallel white bands applied at the top and bottom, with the NS emblem, an elongated mobile swastika, applied at the center. Minor soiling, else very good. WITH: NSAHB member pin, 3/4" in diameter, consisting of an elongate mobile swastika emblem, in black and white enamel, of a field of black enamel, surrounded by a ring of white enamel. This ring bears the inscription, in gold: "N.S.-Altherrenbund der Dtsch. Studenten" ("National Socialist League of Seniors of German Students"). This organization consisted of NSDStB members who had completed their education, and was established to secure funding for the NSDStB, and to evaluate the ideological purity of academics. The verso of the pin bears an RZM stamp and "M1/63" (Steinhauer & Luck). WITH: NSDStB stick pin, 1 3/4"long, with an approx. 1/2"x 3/4" NSDStB emblem of black, white, and red enamel.

The handles are of black composite material, with an off-white elongated diamond inlay in the grip. The tang of the blade is marked: "Solingen, Germany". The knife has suffered serious damage, possibly from a fire; the handles appear melted and distorted, and whatever insignia the diamond emblem may have featured has been completely obliterated. The blade is oxidized nearly black, and the tip is missing. The curved finger guard at the hilt has been broken off. Sold as-is.
