Re: Help identifying armbands
Welcome to the Forum. Unfortunately, both armbands are poor reproductions. Your unidentified piece is a poor copy of a 4th pattern NSDAP political leader armband. The construction is wrong on both pieces. The embroidery on the political leader piece is quite poor in relation to a genuine period example. The SS-BW stamp makes no sense for either organization and is a fantasy marking in style. Recently, we had another MSDAP kampfbinde from the same maker posted on this forum. The holster appears to be fine.

Re: Help identifying armbands
Compare your NSDAP piece to the one discussed in this thread. Note the difference in qualtiy of embroidery to the posted original examples.

Re: Help identifying armbands
Hi James, welcome from me too.
I am very sorry to say the P38 holster is fake too. These have been reproduced for some years now for re-enactors. All the markings are bad.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Help identifying armbands
Th P-38 holster looks more like the configuration of a Luger holster,actually.... (even though it's stamped "P-38") William
