Ärmelband Kreta: Original or Fake ?

[Franz1944]

Ade i really like your worn cufftitle.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Thanks. No great history to it, not combat worn or anything like that. It came out of a big wad of these found in Poland in the very early 1990's. The top and bottom ones were badly damaged by rodents. Ones out of the middle of the stack were mint. But at £12 I should have bought more...

Cheers, Ade.

Here´s my original Ärmelband for comparison.

Hello Spyros!! I just love these armbands but i'll agree with Ade with this one... Sorry mate but i think it may be an early post war repro! (sorry for the following greek text)
Από που το πήρες το περιβραχιώνιο??

I've seen yours again in the past Ade and i loved it! I think it was when i posted my Kreta armband... You should have bought all of them...

I would appreciate peoples opinion on this cuff title I picked up recently.
Looking at previous photos, some elements look good, but who knows.

Any help is much appreciated, thank you.

I would pass on it personally. The letters look weak.

Hi Ade, thanks for the reply. It hasn't cost me anything, so it's in my possession as we speak. Just needed an opinion on it. I'll hold onto it for now....������������������ cheers!
