Hi there
what about this one?
The label looks new to me.
The wool looks OK, but what about the swastika?

Cheers

George

This one is easy to tell as a fake. The white disc is incorrect material as originals are a ribbed material. The black stripes should also be a ribbed material. The RZM tag has the incorrect letter code for a wool armband. This is a 4th Reich product into which the fakers have not expended a great effort to properly construct this piece. Examine the multitdue of original ones that have been posted on this Forum. Most of the picture posts by FB clearly show what the genuine kampfbinde should look like on the black uniform.

Wool kampfbinde should have a 'D' tag as I recently learnt.

Correct. At times repeating the same information over and over becomes tiresome.

No doubt it does. I find the search function to be a wonderful tool in the avoidance of unnecessary questions.

That is what the search function is for. You are self educating, which is the first step in learning. Today, too many people want everything spoon fed to them. Those who never try on their own will never learn. There is no fault in being wrong. It is better to form an opinion and then find out if your position is correct or incorrect. This is how we all learned.
