I do not like the printed HJ armband.

The deathsheads insignia is not an armband. Dubious at best.

The rest are fine. The anotated item is some kind pennant/patriotic item.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi, first off, they were non regulation. Plus the diamentions compaired with a regulation RZM pattern armband are very different. In the late 1960's / early 1970's cheap printed armband really hit the market. For me, this kills it.

Cheers, Ade.

I agree with Ade regarding the printed H J piece. There have been discussions in the past regarding these as to their use in period. I personally doubt they are original to the period. Printed pieces are easy to fake.
As to the first piece, is it really an armband? If so, it is definitely a fantasy item. It appears to be a mine field flag.
