you have an original WWII US Army Medic (or medical personnel) Armband that is numbered by the US Army Medical Department. The armband comes directly out of my personal collection and is in near mint condition. It was never apparently worn in the field. T is no moth damage, wear, soiling, staining, yellowing or fraying. The sewn on, red cross is vibrant. The armband measures 18 by 3.875 inches. The sewn-on Red Cross measures 3 by 3 inches. T is a stenciled serial number (M557483). I have included photos from GI Government Issue, A Collectorâe(tm)s Guide to the European Theatre, pages 6 and 223. You can see my armband is identical in dimensions, etc, as that displayed in the reference book. My armband has a six-digit number preceded by an M just like the one displayed in GI. Medical personnel in particular are being acknowledged for their selfless devotion to the wounded and duty under combat and severe duress. Doctors, nurses and stretcher-bearers also wore the Red Cross Brassard; however, the armband is most often associated with the combat medic. Next to the platoon sergeant, usually the medic was crucial in keeping an infantry platoon together. This was highlighted in the Band of Brothers Episode about the Battle of the Bulge. Both the AAF and Army would have used this style brassard/armband. The winning bidder can opt for First Class Postage and Padded Bag with Tracking Slip in lieu of the usual Priority Mail Shipping option. This numbered WWII GI Combat Medicâe(tm)s Red Cross Armband in near mint condition would make a spectacular addition, upgrade, and/or completion to most any WWII GI Uniform and/or Field Collection. It would be perfect for a re-enactorâe(tm)s uniform, your display, museum mounting, and for educational and theatrical presentations as well as a gift to a veteran. They would look terrific in a shadow box display. I am listing a number of caps, uniform items, field gear, insignia, ribbons, home front items, etc., this week. Please do a seller-search using my username: martinolij to check it out. Thank you. Please read this section carefully for adhering to the terms of the listing as the winning bidder is entering into a legal contract. Payment in US Dollars is due within 11 days of the listingâe(tm)s conclusion. I accept Pay Pal. Checks are fine but I generally clear them. Money Orders and Bank Checks ship ASAP. Items paid through Pay Pal will ship when the funds clear and are transferred to my bank account. Buyer in the States pays US Postal Service Priority Mail shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking slip. I will combine postage for multiple purchases. W First Class Postage is offered, I insist on a padded bag so a delivery tracking slip can be used. The cost of First Class includes the padded pad. Tracking is mandatory for all Pay Pal domestic transactions. For Pay Pal purchases of $250 and larger, a signature return receipt/tracking and insurance are mandatory. If outside the States this will change. I ship world wide for all countries recognized by Pay Pal. Shipping options will be provided. Insurance and tracking on large size or large dollar items ($250 or over) are mandatory. Smaller items can be shipped easily, safely and affordably in a Global Priority Flat One Rate Envelope or First Class Mail International (the cost of the First Class includes a padded bag). Surface mail is not an option. International Bidders must pay in US Dollars. Pay Pal is the accepted method of payment. I save all Postal Service Receipts as well as copies of your payment as proof of delivery and completion of the transaction. The mail is not infallible and that is why insurance is available to you (your choice/option) for domestic and international transactions. It is your responsibility to understand and ad to these terms. I have enjoyed interacting with buyers from four continents and dozens of countries. Many have been veterans, active duty GIs, home front family members in our war, authors, artists, teachers, museum curators, etc. You are encouraged to email with questions. I... read more
