Hello,

Tell me what you think about it. Personaly I think this is crap, but I let you be the judge.

Thanks for your help!

Not for me... The reason is the "Satin" backing...G

**Wagriff** · 10-11-2016, 02:36 AM

Agreed-it was looking okey until I saw the backing....

**UK Cousin** · 10-11-2016, 04:21 AM

Agreed. I just didn't want to be the first to say it.

I agree with those who do not like the backing. I have never seen this before and it certainly does not conform with RZM specifications. Welcome to the forum. This one is definitely a stinker.

I believe that explanations are better than just a "Fake" answer..

**UK Cousin** · 10-11-2016, 05:35 AM

Apologies.. It was the backing as well for me.

**Bmsmear** · 10-11-2016, 02:53 PM

Never seen that backing and would not have it in my collection!

Thanks for replies. Yeah I'm thinking the same way. Was not able to preview the backing before buying it.

Could it be that the white cirle and swastika was sewn to a new piece of cloth or that the whole inner filling was sewn on top of old armband? Would you suggest to cut it open?

Otherwise this probably is a nice looking replica. How much this is would be worth? 20£?

Personally, I'd chalk it up as a learning experience and look for an authentic
armband to purchase - post images of any prospective item before actually
buying it, if you can - that will minimize any surprises after purchase.
