NSDAP Kampfbinde and DEUTSCHER VOLKSSTURM WEHRMACHT Armband real or fake?

No worries! Given the fact that there is some debate about it's authenticity I would take that into consideration when deciding a price, as at some point you may wish to sell it. This is the buying demographic, and there will be some like myself who are comfortable with it and others who are not. I would look at this example sold by collectors guild for reference, it is I would say what people would call a "textbook" example. It doesn't have the character of the example you have shown which personally I love, but folks unfortunately don't pay top dollar for personality. So all in all I wouldn't stick your neck out too far. Good luck and kindest regards.

I want to make a correction to my response. I reached out to Mr.Coleman, and he was polite enough to respond to my inquiry concerning the authenticity of the NSDAP leaders armband. His reply was negative on it being authentic, citing the fact the the center oval should not overlap the oakleaf border motif. I hope that the armband was not purchased on my observations, and if so can be returned? My apologies if that is the case, I would rather put out correct information to benefit the OP and collector community in general. Best regards.
