Hello uk-ok, the armband was to be worn by non-uniformed personnel serving, in one way or another, with the German armed forces. The eagle on the left is/could be for the M-43 cap and the one on the right looks like a navy breast eagle (gold on dk. blue). (missing the head???).
Since I'm not an expert on this subject, perhaps someone with more knowledge can shed more light on this.
Cheers
Jo
