This is an excellent near unissued condition example of a very scarce Airborne Paratrooper Flag Armband. This type of armband was typically used by U. S. Paratroopers, for example in North Africa (1942), during the D Day invasion in Normandy (June 1944) and during Operation Market Garden (September 1944). The armband was typically fixed to the uniform jacket arm with safety pins, but this example is missing them.
