Reichsleiter Armband # 5347
Reichsleiter Armband # 5347
Hard to believe, but the only example of an armband ranking higher than this one, would be the simple party armband worn by Hitler himself. This armband would have been worn only by a Reichsleiter, a position held by a very few, very notorious circle. Among the Reichsleiters, you would find at one time or another, Hess, Buch, Goebbels, Himmler, Ley, Roehm, Bormann, Schwarz, and others. This is a great example of a very hard to find armband, due to the exclusive nature of the position itself, and the fact that those that held it were considered responsible for the Third Reich. Highly desirable, with superb bullion wire work, this one has survived the decades in wonderful condition, with only minor nips, as shown.
Approx. 20" in length, with RZM tag.
