The National Front (French: Front national or Front national de l'indépendance de la France) was a World War 2 French Resistance movement created to unite all of the Resistance Organizations together to fight the Nazi occupation forces and Vichy France. Founded in 1941 in Paris by Jacques Duclos, André Pican and Pierre Villon, along with their wives all members of the French Communist Party (PCF) they felt that to be a vital force against the Nazis, the collaborationists and the informers that all of the Resistance movements, no matter their party or religion (Jewish or Catholic) had to band together. Its name was inspired by the Popular Front, a left-wing coalition which governed France from 1936 to 1938. This helped them coordinate attacks all across France, to move weapons, food, false identity papers, information and food, protect and move people who were to be arrested or executed and supply multiple safe houses for the Resistance and for Jews. They also formed fighting units in early 1942 to assassinate German leaders and soldiers among the occupation forces, perform acts of sabotage on railroads and other forms of distribution of people and goods being taken from France to Germany and to help organize sabotage in factories forced to produce armaments and goods for the German military.

The top, bottom and side edges are turned and machine sewn. There will be rough edges and loose threads etc on the inside. Wartime manufactured armbands were turned around in short order so this all adds to the look.

The armband comes with a safety pin to attach to the upper arm.

Overall, I believe you're getting a great period looking FFI armband. Great for re-enacting events or for display.
