Hi Ewan, I would pass on it if offered to me. I am not keen on the materials used to make the armband nor the overall lack of age patina.

Cheers, Ade.

Adrian is right about this piece above.

or this....in context....even unissued authentic pieces have patina granted their age. Used pieces show even more patina to the satin disc, discoloration. The fakes botch the swastika especially.
