NSDAP Overcoat armband

Really wanting to get a party armband into my collection, but am just too new to know what to get. Does this look legit? It's in such great shape.

Doesn't the "B" code in RZM stand for cotton, not wool?

[harryamb2]

its ok.

[avenger]

So this checks out authentic?

[Brett]

Wasn't wool a "D" code?

I'm glad you guys know all this stuff, and are kind enough to share that with us beginners and novice collectors.

The description does say it's a loose tag. Perhaps it doesn't go with the armband, but the armband is authentic?

I agree it has wrong tag for a wool Kampfbinde but the stitching around the roundal also looks odd to me.
I would like to hear from Mr Coleman on this item.

If this doesn't check out, is there a good place to shop for a similar authentic armband?

Thanks for the help!!!
