What does RFSS cuffband mean for a Nazi officer (SS)?

A pic I found unexpectedly of my second cousin (who I don't personally know) had him in uniform in Bavaria Germany where my family came from, wearing a dagger, SS uniform, the hat with the skull on it and on the cuffband, it had the initials "RFSS" Does anyone know what that means? What he may have been involved with? He later fled to Paraguay. Does this mean he likely did something very bad? I'm just curious from the info I could dig up but now I'm stuck. Thanks for your help.
