It appears to be a period original piece but the misspelled word "Wermacht" is odd. Possibly the way it was spelled in an occupied country?

I,too, like this armband, but as Bob said, the word "Wehrmach" is troubling. I cannot find any language in Europe where it was used. "Deutsche" is proper but "Wehrmach"? I had thought that perhaps it was a faulty printing, but I see no ghosting or remnant of a "T", so I can only wonder. There does,however, seem to be the remains of an eagle stamping above "Deutsche". I guess I'm picky, but I would probably have to pass on it.

Hi and thanks guys for your comments, I thought I could see a very feint "t" remnant (I tried to capture this in photos 6 and 7, more so in photo 7).
-
I can also see the very very faint T there. Or is it my imagination?
-
I'm not sure. I could be a very faint T, but maybe it could also be just a crease or rinkle in the cloth. Let's hope it's the first.

This looks like the correct sewing for the bird, but the material of the armband does not look consistent to others I have seen. However, Mr. Coleman will be able to confirm that as he is the expert with cloth for the period.... Maybe it goes with his opinion of "foreign produced?"
-
I can see the very faint "t" as well.
