Luftwaffe armband
Hello gents,, I had this for a long time since high school,,,and I only occasionally seen these once in a great while. I look through some of the threads here and didnt see any. This passes the black light test,,but I think it may be repro as the eagle head is facing to the right. Any thoughts?? Regards Larry

Re: Luftwaffe armband
Almost looks like a sports eagle, possible one made into an armband, I can't say I've ever seen anything like it
Re: Luftwaffe armband
Sports shits eagles were not printed but machine threaded. Originality I'm not sure

Re: Luftwaffe armband
Is it possible that this was for a Luftwaffe helper?

Re: Luftwaffe armband
Here is my sports eagle for comparison Larry. The eagle facing that way is the same as the sports eagle, but I have never seen an armband like this.

Re: Luftwaffe armband
I am hoping someone can confirm its authenticity, I would really love to know myself.
Hi Larry,
I'm purchasing a armband like your's, but I'm not sure too about it's authenticity. Don't seems to me it was made from a shirt insignia, but may be they used the same print pattern.
I find two others like this for sale on the net:

And there is two others posted on WAF, without a conclusion:

Best Regards,

Hi Larry-
This is likely worn on civilian clothing by civilian employees of the Luftwaffe.
