SS Kampfbinde (Wool Armband) – Original or Reproduction?

[Oroman]

Hello all!

I have a wool SS Kampfbinde here and I would appreciate opinions on this. It is very good quality and feels sturdy in hand.

I have done my best to take informative photos.

Thank you!

Duncan.

I'm not so sure about this armband, I would not like to have it in my collection.

Do you have photos of the inside of your armband also?

I have seen many authentic examples online from reputable dealers whose construction is identical to mine.

There must be many varieties or variations in construction methods.

[Finngaill]

No I don't have.

Remember, even reputable dealers can make mistakes.


Note how your's armband has a three row of stitches inside of armband, there should be only two row. Like at photo bellow




Black line at the end of the armband is wrong style




It might be your's is political armband what someone try to pimp up to SS

I don't like the wool Material and stiching. Construction looks weird too.

[Finngaill]

I'm not fan of the wool material either
