    Welcome Mike

    Someone should be around to help you out. In the meantime, while we are happy to help authenticate the item, we do not provide monetary valuations.

    These are not uncommon and can be found on many reputable dealers website. That should give you an idea of the retail/dealer value (knock off 20% to 30% for a collector to collector value

    I pretty well know what they go for but being consecutive numbered ones and mint i just dont know how rare that is.I have been into this hobby for over 40 years and I cant remember if I ever saw something like that before.

    I certainly haven't seen this before. Almost like they were grabbed of the shelf or storeroom by a vet looking for souvenirs

    I don't see anything wrong with either. But it's not an area I collect so my opinion is not one to count on

    Someone will be around though

    Reminds me of the WW1 German Machine gunner crew patches. Post war the US occupied Coblenz that had a Falkenburg & Richter factory/warehouse full of them. So the US vets looted the stock and took them home in original wrapped batches (like 20 or so). I would expect something similar here. A Vet probably snatched these out of a depot/storeroom.

    That said, pretty neat to have two (three) so close together.

    That explain the mint condition

    Nice armbands. I personally would not place a much higher value on the consecutive numbering, but that is just me. The theory of being in a stockpile seems viable. There are a good number of collectors that only buy issued items.
