    I have this Band from the 1936 olympics games, it belonged to my mother grandfather, who represented uruguay in rowing at the games.
    I tried to search for information and until now I haven’t found anything about it, i guess it isn’t common?
    If anyone has any info about it, it would be nice!
    thanks for reading

    Welcome @waik1ng . If the moderators think it should be in another forum, they will move it there.

    This is not my specialty, but I think the band is very interesting, especially given the unusual circumstances of the 1936 Olympics.

    We need a size.

    Is it an armband, a sash or a belt ? or is it the ribbon that held the medal ?

    There's a Wikipedia article on Uruguay at the 1936 Olympics.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay_at_the_1936_Summer_Olympics

    Uruguayans were not medalists in rowing (Argentina took a bronze).

    Geez Louise! There's tons of 1936 Olympics related stuff out there, but can't find this. The principal logo was the Brandenburg Gate with Olympic rings. The state eagle with Olympic rings does occur on ID cards (Olympia Ausweis), so I wonder if that's what would have been on the end of this. But don't see it online.

    Would it be called a lanyard?

    It's quite an elaborate construction - high quality. Might it have been used as a barrier to block off a section of VIP seating? Now I wonder about the clip on the end: that wire ring holding it in place is inconsistent with the rest of the piece. Is there a bent loop at the top of the eagle's head?

    I suspect whatever it is, it's going to have some value.

    In my opinion that is a commemorative flag streamer. Probably given to the participating nations to attach to their team flags.

    The attached photo shows flags with streamers as example how they were used.

    Isn' that the flag of Uruguay in the foreground?

    A minute later the streamer you have was pinned to that flag!
