Rare Chain Stitched NSDAP Armband
This chain stitched NSDAP Armband is a fantastic example of a seldom-seen and very desirable variant. These are vastly less common than the more often seen construction styles such as multi-piece, printed or woven. The body of this armband is made of a typical plain weave cotton or linen fabric that retains strong original color. A roundel of woven white fabric has been affixed to the front of the armband with rows of machine chain stitching. The center of the roundel has been emblazoned with a chain stitched black swastika emblem. The quality of the workmanship here is great, and this armband has exceptional eye appeal. The top and bottom edges of the armband are finished with straight machine stitching, and the reverse has been joined with a typical seam, with what looks to be an additional line of machine stitching intended to make this a little smaller for a custom fit to a uniform sleeve. This lovely chain stitched NSDAP armband shows very light traces of honest wear and very light age toning. There are no holes, rips or stains to note. The condition rates as near mint.
