SS Armband

Yes I can see most of you rolling your eyes now

. From what I have looked at and have no experience in these(I just want one to go with my dagger!) This is a fake? As always appreciate your time. My thinking being swastika to big in circle. And rzm tag top one the ss in the circle should be thicker? Cheers AL

A reproduction. There is an authentic one on JR Meda’s site for sale currently. If you haven’t seen this thread before, it may help you:
SS Armband, genuine or fake?

Thanks DRCMH had looked at that thread was partly the reason I was leaning towards fake. I try to figure it out as I go. Don't like to just ask without doing some research. It is just a very challenging hobby to say the least. Againghanks for your time and will check out that site

Thanks for your thanks. It is indeed a challenging hobby but there are plenty of knowledgeable people that are willing to give you a hand. I have been fortunate in building my collection, and, my success is directly as a result of the kindness of others on this and other fora. FB, Bob Coleman, d’alquen, HPL2008, Wim Saris, and Adrian Stevenson, to name just a few of the many knowledgeable current and former members, who have helped me to contextualize much of these relics and their significance in our history of the last century.

No offense, but I would take some screen shots, crop them and have it vetted here before you buy any S.S. armband, dealers have been known to make mistakes.. G
