Looking for a pic and info. I found one coming up at auction tomorrow. It is white with black stamped winged wheel with the words Deutsche Reichbahn stamped below the wheel. The ink has bled through to the other end of the armband from sitting flat. Were they ink stamped or is this a fake.
Also up for auction is a green armband with eagle over the word Reichsbahn. I could use some help fellas. Also if they are authentic, what might they be worth individually?
Then there is another with the words HILFS KRANKENTRAGER (I think) might be embroidered??

IF you can check Brian L Davis's book your green arm band is shown in that and your red cross also
Badges of the TR 1933-45.

Paul,
I have the book and already checked it, but the book doesn't have actual photographs.

I thought i would bring this back to the top as i have one of the reichsbahn armbands in question and would appreciate any comments and value...DAVE H

Reichsbahn Armband..

Dave,
Thanks for posting this precise and detailed series of images. That is the standard armband that was often worn on work clothing.

It is of one piece woven construction in green rayon cloth. Later versions appeared in a printed style as well.

Cheers

I just bought this one for 100.00 but I think I got a very good deal,you dont see many of these as most of the railroad stuff was burned as GIs didnt care as much about it as say sa or ss stuff.This one has a reichsbahn ink stamp and in nice cond.

inside should look like this.

Nice Bevo like machine embroidery
