NSDAP armband. Opinions please

[Eric Zentner]

Friendly word of advice early or not.
A item that is of not the norm, will be of much doubt to most.
So I would choose to pass for a better item as they are plentiful and still at a fair price.
If you like it get some more pics please.

Ok, got a couple of pics more from the seller (whole armband, front and back)
I'm really on a doubt here...

The new pictures show that the perception by some of a misshaped disc and swastika were caused by the wrinkles in the piece. In today's market of so many fakes, if you ever sell it, the irregularities would cause difficulties with inexperienced potential buyers. These are quite common and you would be better to wait for a perfect RZM pattern. That is of course unless you are considering keeping the piece. It appears to be an original early piece.

Hi Bob

Thanks for your reply / comment
Yes, if I buy it, it will not be to later sell it
I prefer multi piece armbands that's why I was interested on this one. Assuming this is an original piece, beeing an early armband would somehow add (historical) value to it?
Now that you almost assure is authentic I'm thinking of buying it. Is it a mistake or as some said should I wait for an RZM one?
Thanks for your help

The decision is something you must decide. Are you comfortable owning it? I personally like these early things. It is not for me or anyone else to tell you how to spend your money. You have opinions so go from there.

Thank you for your time Bob
I'll think it over and make up my mind

The new photos have made the case, in my opinion. It for sure looks like a decent and early party armband and there should be few qualms about picking it up.

Case closed! Another buyer got ahead first!
