White SS armband real or fake

[Jan]

I´m here to learn so I thought I´d post a pic of this SS armband which was offered to me today. Real or fake? I suppose it´s a fake but It´s only a gut reaction I have.

Cheers Jan

It is a total fantasy design. There was never a SS armband in this design. I have seen these fakes in different base colors. All of them are 4th Reich.

Yup! Modern pre-aged rubbish of an item that never existed in real life!

The guy selling it went "ballistic" (the always go) when I suggested it was a fake. Now after posting it to you gentlemen I can rest in peace knowing I was right. Thank you Wagriff!

It is amazing that the thieves always blow up when they get caught. Was it a dealer selling this? If so, can you identify him? At least you know to avoid doing business with the guy ever again.

Ballistic hey!If he has any sense he will just disappear in a "puff of smoke",as next time he just might get a pasteing for peddleing this third rate junk!!As for the variety of colours these fakes come in you would need to be a colour blind parrot to fancy one.

an SS armband with some wear.

An SS armband with less wear, and perhaps less history.
