Product Information

Oval shield made of aluminium anodised gold, with engraved number “8332″ with holes for sewing onto green cloth to be worn as an armband .

Decree of 24th May 1934 O 3141 – 2 II.

Officials in civilian clothing have to identify themselves by a green armband with a brass shield. It is not necessary for the armband to be worn on the arm; presenting it is sufficient. In order to help with this act of presenting it to approaching motor vehicles, the officials are equipped with a special stretching device that allows the armband with the brass shield to be held out towards the vehicles (at night time, preferably illuminated by the headlights) with the arm extended (see decree of 6th July 1929 O 3141 – 6463 and of 23rd February 1931 O 3141 – 38 II). The armband with the brass shield is also to be shown if the wearing of leather hoods* may lead to doubts about the entitlement to halt traffic
