I'm about to buy this one! What do you think? It is up for $130! It's price seems kinda suspicius to me so i ask you, is it a real or a fake one?
Does the SS tag look like post war attached to you too?

A fake armband in my opinion.Perhaps the RZM tag attached to it has a chance to be an original one.
Do show the Kampfbinde to Bob Coleman, whom I trust in this material more than any other.
It is from Snyder's Treasures and i heard he isn't the best dealer around with a lot negative feedback! Is it true?
This is a S A Reserve kampfbinde. The S S RZM tag is of course incorrect for this item. Within the past two months, another identical piece sans S S tag was posted on this site. At the time, I commented that I had never seen a S A Reserve piece with the ribbed gray edge tresse. They have always been a solid material as shown on the attached images, In my opinion, this is a total well made fake. The only ribbed tresse used was the black stripe on S S kampfbinde, which indicated reserve members by gray collar tabs and cufftitle, never an armband.

Re: NSDAP SS/SA Armband!!
Bob Coleman is the great expert and the foundation of this site.

Thank you for the compliment. However, I shun the title of "expert." There is too much baggage that comes with that title. I prefer to say that hopefully I have picked up some knowledge after handling and studying this material over the past 55 years.
Knowing the source of the subject of this thread reinforces my opinion on not only this kampfbinde but the one I mentioned had been in a previous thread.
