Hitler Jugend armbinde for review

[3volv3]

Hi everyone, this HJ armband is coming up on a auction, I do not know much about these printed versions and was hoping someone can help with authentication.
Thank you for any input

There are some really good threads on the HJ Forum about these. Printed HJs were shown over there (though conclusive period evidence) to have been an early option for HJ members. You could have a printed version or a multi-part version in the early years until printed HJs were stopped. No proof exists that printeds were made late-war like the dealers would have you believe but early on they did exist. Original early printeds were made of bleached cotton and the complete design was printed. The one you show is clearly not of that type and so I would be very wary.

Hi Tinnieman, thank you kindly for your reply.
I did read up a bit about the debate on the printed versions and do believe there was original printed ones.
Unless other opinions are given I think I will leave this one for now.
