I have been looking for a book on armbands for a long time and the only luck I have are ones with other insignia. Any without that?

I have one somewhere in storage. It is from the late 60s or maybe early 70's It is real thin with a picture of a eagle and wreath on the front cover. All the photos are black and white.

There was an early paper back set of two reference books seems like all color pictures one included pictures of a number of armbands the second covered SS items. Have long since forgotten the titles and the author.
Someone will remember.

I got a copy of the Nazi Regalia book from Ed Martin. A good reference but I don't have the SS one. Thanks again to Ed!

There is an older reference that has a small section on Heer related armbands. None that you haven't seen. There is one picture of Two Generals wearing the mourning armband low down near the cuff.
German Army Uniforms and Insignia 1933-1945
by: Brian L. Davis.
It has been and will remain one of my go to references from the time I first became aware of it due to the (IMO), excellent content.

'Supplement 1 Armbands' , WOW haven't seen that in ages.  There used to be a few of those old monographs around.. And, the McCarthy small sized books like that.. At the big shows you'll find plenty of the older references... Hey K.Bullets,,,you should do one!! Monographs are big again the last few years..
