Friedrich-Berthold shows the standard for the SS armband.

As has been said, the armband in question is a "fantasy" item.

Let me also welcome you to the forum. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of good armbands to study in these pages.

Welcome to the Forum. You will find this a friendly place to study and also how to learn about 3rd Reich militaria. As the other members stated, this is a total fantasy design. No such armband existed during the era of the 3rd Reich. Fake armbands of this design have been around since the 1950's.
The primary investment for begining a collection is to build a good reference library.
