Looks original to me, I'd guess that it was actually never worn as the band is too long, those would be some huge biceps! I think it's probably an unfinished armband that the GI found somewhere in a factory and sent home as a trophy. Though, the roundel looks huge! My first thought was a funeral sash, but if someone knows their RZM codes I bet we could get an answer pretty quick.

I was thinking the same thing but the RZM tag put it in proper persepective. My armband has the same tag on the same Kampfb....

Chuck303, nice find!!

To my novice eyes it looks like a lovely worn NSDAP armband... I have yet to actually aquire one but this is one that I'd definitely do in a heartbeat for the right price. Really like the combination of construction and wear!
