Further to my post of 29 March, I may have done the artist Knoettel an injustice over the "Freiwillige Arbeitsdienst" cuffband. Although it was ordered that the TN should stop administering the FAD in early January 1933, given the size and complexity of their involvement that took time and official records show that they remained involved into 1934.

So that cuffband could, presumably and with all due caveats, have been worn after Hitler came to power at the end of January 1933.
