Hello

What are your thoughts on this armband?

Is this US or British?

Most likely used in the occupation?

Thank you

Tony

Hi Tony,  being British myself I believe this to be WWII British as it's very similar construction to other armbands of the period, here's a small quote from Wikipedia.

 

War reserve constable

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This should not be confused with a ' Special Police-Constable ', which was a voluntary British police officer, that existed alongside the War Reserve Constable. (  If I find more specific evidence such as a photo of the band in use I will add later. )

 

regards lewis.
