Trying to identify this armbande. I've not seen this style before.

Thanks

Armbinde, "Wache", unusual quality, leather on some sort of waxcloth or lacquered textile. Wache means "Guard", no idea who could have used this. Does not look typically Wehrmacht, but certainly period. Worn on some sort of duty by a person of some organisation.

Fritz, yes I've never come across another of this type either. I was thinking due to it's material and large adjustable size, maybe it was meant to wear over a coat of some sort?

Worn over some sort of service clothing, uniform or whatever. Material may be simply an Ersatz quality, as materials were always scarce.
