Welcome to the forum. I have moved your thread to the proper NSDAP kampfbinde forum. From the limited pictures, the piece appears to be a period cotton kampfbinde. The stamp is odd as it is perfect. It is unusual to see complete readable property stamps on period pieces. One I would like to see in hand.

My mistake, I wasn't paying attention where I posted it. So do you think the armband is original, but the stamp may be done later?
That makes sense. Thanks for the help
Hi, as Bob stated, looks to be correct materials and manufacture style. To find a perfect legible stamp is not a common thing, so somewhat of a red flag, but does not mean its not ok. I think that is why Bob, and myself too, would like to examine in hand. So, undetermined with some points in the positive direction would be the best assessment that could be given.
I completely understand what you mean, and thanks for the input. Assuming it were original do you think $40 is a reasonable price?
Below reasonable!
I seem to have bad luck finding original Nazi items. I doubt I'd have luck finding one at a great price too. If I decide to take the chance I will for sure post better pictures and ask people to see what they think.
If you're having bad luck in finding originals, might I suggest that you study the posts in this and other forums on the items that interest you.
The amount of knowledge and expertise here is astounding, and all that knowledge is available to you anytime - here. Chances are the questions
you have, have been covered at some point already in posts. Over time and study you'll get an idea of what to look for - materials, stitching, materials,
style, etc - on original vs. re-production or fantasy items. I've used this forum for Third Reich armbands and have learned a lot. The more you learn the less
chance of you being taken by a seller of bogus stuff. What you don't want to do is buy as an uneducated consumer. Posting to the forum good quality images of an item before purchase, also, can unmask problematic
items - and save you money too! Good luck.
