Article about: is this a ss reserv armband as its being sold as and is it of period use? i thought it was ok looking but the stichings looks kind of loud and new to me but hey what do i know could be the p
Hi Ewan, does the seller happen to reside in California U.S. ? This armband is believed to be an SA which was brought up in another post recently. If the seller is who i think it is he will accept most reasonable offers. Just don't offer an unrealistic price.
ty thinking so from C.list also thinking it would be more SA rather than SS what would be a reasonable offer for one of these bands also are you thinking its genuine period piece mate?
Hi Ewan, yes the sellers name is Steve. I almost bought the piece myself but decided to buy other pieces for my collection to fill some holes. Offer him $190 or i can him for you to see what the lowest he will accept.
Yuppers...I agree.....look and construction looks as it should....and I think that offer would be fair. They usually go for a little more - but it doesn't hurt to put that offer on the table. Good luck!
Ewan-
The SS Reserve units never wore this form of kampfbinde. The SS Reserve units wore gray base collar tabs to signify their status. The armband is definitely SA Reserve. Attached is a picture of a SS Reserve officer's dress tunic with gray insignia and standard SS kampfbinde.
