The Reichs Offizier Bund was an association of former military officers. This is a beautifully executed silk banner that was presented by the Local (Ortsgruppe) Landesverband Schleswig-Holstein to the ROB of the same area. The insignia of the organization is hand embroidered in silver and the lettering in gold bullion. Despite the fact that this banner was made in the late 1920s, the trim is Black White Red (the colors of the Empire) rather than the Weimar Black Gold Red, which shows the traditional leanings of the organization. The banner could have been used as a Schellenbaum hanger, a Glockenspiel hanger, or for a meeting hall table flag. A jewel!
