I guess My water/Qtip was kinda stupid suggestion.

What about big Zip lock bags ? Protected and visible ?

Yes, Zip lock bags by all means. The swastika armband is a pretty ordinary item as far as German WW2 memorabilia goes, the things were produced in the millions. Badges of rank, insignia, Hitler Youth knives, Luftwaffe daggers, publications, etc. are valuable. German uniforms and caps and helmets are the most valuable. The Germans had uniforms for everything and they fetch top dollar.
