This is a nice golden-yellow coloured, linnen-based armband, as worn by official- and designated employees working in the state's service (Armbinde für Zivilangestellte). The armband shows an interwoven black-coloured (left facing) eagle on a yellow background and is executed in a technique similar to the 'BeVo'- weave technique. The armband is nicely marked 'Reichsbahndirektion Altona'. Nice original example in good used condition!
