Uncategorised Armband lighthouse stamp

[Wiley Winter]

All,

I have purchased, from a reliable veteran, a Nazi armband of some sort. It is constructed three parts; swatsika, white disk, and armband. What, I suppose, separates this from your garden variety armband is a stamp on the disk. It's under the swatsika so you can't read it all but it has a light house in the middle of it.

I hope you can see the stamp on the image I'm uploading.

Regards,

Wiley Winter

Is that a lighthouse or the Kyfyserbund memorial tower?

Hi,

it is the Kyffhäuser monument:

I have not seen this type of armband stamped in this manner. It is an interesting piece.

Hello all,

I recently purchased this item from an antique mall. I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding this piece. Is it authentic, it looks like it's in very good condition, a bit too good. 

Thanks

No pictures?

It's the exact same one as the first picture, the exact same arm band.

If it's the exact same one, with those limited pictures, it seems to be good. The Kyffhauserbund group  wore the NSDAP armband on their arm, and the one like the other above around their cuff. So makes sense for an armband to have this stamp. I have seen it done a few times.

I've been doing research and haven't been able to find the exact stamp anywhere. Do you have the name of it by chance, so I can get a better idea of what the full stamp looks like?

Hi M_kuppy,

it is hard, to find the exact stamp. I think, that there are hundreds of different Kyffhäuser stamps.

Please look here for an example:
