HJ wool Armband ;)

**Alexma** · 05-20-2017, 05:15 PM

Well guys. I got this one from a really nice seller, also considerer friend. I believe it is original. Material and construction looks like NSDAP wool armband but this is a HJ. I have read they didnt exist and all of Hj wool are bad. What are your thoughts???

For me after reading and reading and searching threads I can say they existed but they probably were not regulation??

thanks

For that it's worth, I had a fake SS armband that had the exact same black swastika.

These were produced IMO.. AS to authenticity of the OP's piece most likely Bob Coleman will add to the subject..
This example is being offered currently by a good / reputable dealer.. We all can be mistaken though.. Curious for the outcome.. G

I have never seen a HJ wool armband even on mantels or high leaders tunics. A few of these appeared around 15 years ago and are considered to be fakes.

I would also like to add that the ribbed white material was never used on period pieces for the HJ. Send it back. If he is a friend, he will give you a refund.

In my opinion the one Gwar posted is fine. The first one as Bob states is post war

Sorry I meant specifically the "whitish" marks on the black near the overlaps in the black swastika. It had the same shine to it. The fake that I had also had the ribbed white part as Bob stated. Probably from same faking company.

When I look as originals as you posted, I don't see that shine.
