3. Block Warden (L.B.) armband

The above item is a Block Warden (L.B.) armband. In order to streamline the emergency response and operations of the L.B.D., larger municipalities were often divided into various sectors and block warden teams. Each block warden team was responsible for their designated block. There were many different variations of these armbands, including fabric versions. In 1941, enamel variants like the one shown in the photo became available. This armband is intended for a member of the block warden team. The armband came with the document group shown above. The leather strap of the armband bears the stamped number 3014, presumably the member number of the armband holder¹.
