    Thanks, I was hoping it was. I don’t see many wool bands

    Hello honestly I'm not a fan of this piece. The swas arm gap looks inconsistent, two legs look as though they run off the 90 degree angle and look tighter than the two opposite leg widths. The roundel looks out of proportion (smaller) to the band width, and the red wool material doesn't look like a period weave pattern imo. Best regards.

    Hi KW..could you include a photo of the inside of the armband ? ...that should also be helpful in providing answers.

    Larry is 100 percent correct inside photograhs would help determine authenticity. I would also compare the one you posted to this textbook piece, see how the wool in your example has diagonal pattern lines I find that very peculiar and haven't seen it on other period armbands.

    The armband dimensions look wrong and the poor sewing and shape of the swastika surely would never have passed Quality control. It's awful. look at the width of the band in relation to the white circle, which incidently should be slightly oval shape.
