armband found

[arosechaos]

hello everyone i have recently come across a armband which i purchased at an antique shop, the band seems to be almost orange rather than red, so could it be faded or were there yellow or orange ones as well?

its the same usual design white circle with black swastika in the center

Hi Arosechaos


Welcome to the forum. Red can indeed turn into orange due to sunlight if that's your question. If you post pictures we will be able to authenticate the armband for you...

so its definitly legit?

its just extremely faded i guess if it was once red

but i picked up for 50 bux so did i get a good or somewhat bad deal?

its in bad shape i guess some stains and stuff but i think it adds to its old look imo

thats a bad ass band of your tho

my wife and i are in love i guess id say with ww2, we are starting to collect different things from all the sides, and this is our first major find i guess

Hi Arosechaos


IMO this is a original armband, though I'am a badge collector and not a uniform/insignia collector. I'am sure that the other moderators on this forum will help you further in the comming hours. Are that bloodstains I see on the left en center of the armband?

I'am sceptical to that armband, some materials used I don't like and stitchings over the edge- IMHO a bad one

[arosechaos]

thanks for the replys, i guess its hard to tell for this one...

is there a place say online where genuine original items can be purchased that you guys trust?

thanks again

Sorry, but the armband is bad in my opinion.

Cheers, Ade.
