Rare U.S. Airborne Invasion Flag Armband - Nice i.e. CombatUsed Condition

This is a rare example of a nice i.e. combat used example of an U.S. Airborne Invasion Flag. This so-called third type was a flag printed as an armband on sturdy paper. This type was issued for the Southern France, Holland typically by the 82nd and 101 Airborne, and Rhine jumps and was worn as an armband or cut or folded and pinned to the sleeve. The armband is as combaty used with period fitted elastic bands in order to secure the armband in a quick manner. Nice used yet with a great patina!
