This is a genuine period original armband issued to civilian auxillaries working for the NSDAP. These were usually worn by individuals assisting in air raid assistance. Some are found ink stamped with the particular service the owner provided.

Bob,Thanks very much for the help. I was just concerned about the black light test. I guess it means that the black light thing is not foolproof. Thanks Vinny

The blacklight test is well known to not be a reliable tool.

I have always been on the fence with these. I wish I knew for sure if they were legit or not.

I am curioous as to why you feel this way. Possibly some bad gun show lore? We won't give you bad information. I have bought numerous examples of this type armband from vets during my collecting life. I started collecting in 1956 when nearly everything was original period made.

Eric, I was also in question of these armbands. Then I held one in person and my mind changed. It passed the muster in my opinion but that wasn't proof-positive so I kept looking and found period photographs of the item in wear and for sale. Then of course, there are also the children of the veterans that have them and the collectors that have collected for 50 years that have them. After you get a good one in your hands, you too will get the warm-n-fuzzies. It's good to question, you should always prove it to yourself before you buy! But, these kampfbinde are in fact, period pieces.
Sorry Bob, you beat me to it
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig. CE

One minute apart! It is amazing to me how much bad information is still floating around the collector world.
