First: for the good order the drawings from the various types of armbands, as included with the
Dienstbuch from March 1, 1932.

As far as I know these armbands came into being in about 1929 for the political organization.
These armbands were abolished with the
Dienst-Vorschrifrt der Politische Organisation from July 15, 1932 as when the first
version of collar indocations, in the form of braids (the later collar-patches) for the various levels were introduced.
Further shown the order from the 1934 dress-regulation about the armband for SA-Reserve-II. After the full incorporation within
the SA this type of armband was abolised as reserve-units were to be identified by their collar-patches.

The dress-regulation was from March 1, 1934 and was also published in the
Verordnungsblatt der Obersten SA-Führung from
March 15, 1934. The order specifically says along upper and lower edge!
Maybe of interest for some of you: the SA-armbands were ordered to be stamped by their specific office, so it is not uncommong to see
early HJ armbands with stamps, as the HJ was for quite some time a part for the SA.
