Office of Strategic Services Armband
 

I’m guessing this was not worn by operatives but possibly LEC’s at HQ/Base can anyone help
Thanks
Paul

Reverse with maker stamp

Lol I know about this one , Les let you have it then mate ??? A hard one I think field headquarters....maybe place it on the US military forum for more opinions buddy .
Cheers

I find it hard to believe that anyone, even on a training base, would actually advertise they were in the OSS. Maybe it stands for Orderly Staff Sergeant.

Wouldn’t that dismiss other Insignia worn by them such as the Spearhead?

He got told he looked young and handsome today (not by me) which obviously put him in a generous mood:D

.....really blimy what people do to get a discount !!! Regarding the brassatd mate , the OSS were more blase, hence patches directly attributed , distinguishing badges including OSS service bar....it's possible though it may not be related to that group, but then it's worth checking out and researching ....hopeblifes treating you better than me at the mo lol

It has a very British look about it, it couldn't be 'SSO' ? The Indian Army had Special Service Officers. And in my album I have an Indian Army armband for Recruiting Officer which is black letters on Green.
