German Arm Band Verification. Real Fake what Type ?

[Jammanna]

Hi Folks I'm curious as to what type of arm band this is as well as weather or not you believe its authentic.



Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Well, it is not SS related.

It looks like a standard NSDAP armband, but I can't recall ever seeing one with a construction such as this. Especially with the inverted colours on the reverse side. I'm only familiar with two variants of this armband type, those being the earlier stitched and later printed examples. There could very well be other variants I'm not familiar with, as I have no in-depth knowledge of armbands.

Will leave further speculation to those better-equipped in the knowledge department.

This is the very first kind of brassard I got ca. 196X and still own. It is quite authentic.
