Bayern Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hello, Appears to be an French Army Staff officer armband .the three colours denotes an Army Corps staff . the baided O and R indicates more precisely the status of the wearer but iam not able to said what means. a similar armband with the letters A and L braided implied that the wearer was attached to the Heavy Artillery of the Corps . Artillerie Lourde in French . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuka f Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Finally got two answers. One to say "hello", and; salut je ne sais pas non plus mais j en ai un quasi identique dans la fabrication pour le trésor publique entre guerre et avant peut etre.... je pense donc que ce brassard est pour civils mais pour quel usage? on vois pas l arrière mais je pense qu il est doublé la fabrication est soignée. meaning: I don't know either, but I got one almost similar , probably made for civilian use between two wars, or maybe even before then... My guess is civilian. ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuka f Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I asked on a other French forum, I knew there was a guy collecting this type of armbands. His wife replied so far, because he wasn't home. She thinks also it would be for civilian use, but waiting for confirmation by here husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuka f Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hello, the guy's found a old description (no pic!) regarding a armband with OR on it but the colors do not match. This one would be green yellow and red and was given to a winner of a fencing contest, between two wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
