Volkssturm armband - real or fake?

[KEVIN23]

Hi, It looks good to me too, has some type of white lining, most ive seen, dont.

Hi Kevin, this is not a lining but the original base material. These were screen printed.

Cheers, Ade.

[KEVIN23]

Hi, yes thanks Ade, when I enlarge photos I see. I guess the ones Ive seen just have a heavier print. Almost like looking at it in reverse. Not "as white".

Nice piece, gut find.

Nice piece indeed.
Sometimes regarded as a minor collectible item these armbands are representative of an important period of WWII / TR history.
