A fine original WWII German SA -Wehrmannschaften (military defense/sports) armband. Orignal RZM tag is unfortunately lost to time. Some light staning on the reverse, but otherwise no damage or discoloration to speak of. Displays very well. 
 
The “SA -Wehrmannschaft” (SA -Military-defense-training-groups) were formed in January 1939 as a response to Hitler’s decree for the SA to provide pre- and post-military defense training to all civilian males aged from 18 to 65 years old. Effectively a Home Guard comprised of those deemed unfit for regular military service due to age or partial infirmity, they wore a distinctive armband which incorporated the “SA -Wehrabzeichen” (SA Sports-badge) which, after July 1942, was restricted to wear on civilian clothing.
