According to "Das Dienstbuch der NSDAP (Hitlerbewegung) Österreich", dated March 1, 1932
the brassard with two stripes is for the rank/function of Gau-Geschäftsführer, Gau-Amtswalter
or Amtswalter der Landesleitung when there is no Rosette included upon the middle of the swastika.
The stripes should have a width of 1.0 cm.
During the course of 1932 new insignia were introduced and the brassard with the various stripes were
cancelled. In the new regulations this type of brassard was no longer mentioned!

Gern geschehen. Thanks.
As far as I know such a list was not ever published in a current book. Often the brassards are explained incorrectly.
It is all stated in the earlier mentioned Dienstbuch. The performance of duties was also explained, but is
intricate and difficult to explain (read: to translate).
 
Agreed, thank you for the posts Wim. Another often misidentified item has been cleared up for me. This is one of the reasons this forum is so good, the sharing of factual information for those of us that don't know. Thanks again Wim.
 
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.
