Another variant
I chanced upon this one - not your usual fabric constructed armband. The red is like a soft wool/cotton material - The white cotton is stitched by my old Granny ( it looks that sloppy) and the Hakenkreuz looks to be printed and then touched up............... I think it is a little "sloppy" maybe too sloppy?? Personally I do not like it - unless it's a last ditch armband
...................... No labels but as always - I like to check first before I bin it
Did you try the burn test on one of the several loose threads? It may be ok
John-
At best, it is a home made variant. More likely a poor fake.

No I hadn't even bothered to do that test - I was 99.9% sure it was a duff 'un
I've seen that armband before. The sloppy stitching occurred when the swastika was reorientated. Probably.
