hj armbands are more orange than red aswell ade showed a mint orange hj armband on here
An armband may appear orange on your screen, but original examples are definitely red.
The only orange political armband I have ever encountered was a fake hand embroidered SA Wehrmannschaft armband that had been made in Pakistan. The red faded to orange when they attempted to age it.

Re: NS-Studentbund & SA Armbands
Guys thanks for all the info and tips regarding armbands. Hopefully I will be able to put it all to use when i purchase my first real one. I was convinced they were real but I didn't really know what to look for. oddly enough the herringbone pattern convinced me they were authentic. Had i known it was not in use on the early armbands i could have made a better decision. I was skeptical about the the lack of paper tags but I reasoned that maybe the early versions used stamps. I also thought who would go through all the trouble of making this elaborate stuff and sell ii for $50 ? I suppose somewhere along the line someone may have paid big money for these at one time and recirculateed them once they were proven to be fake. I will be posting many more items for scrutiny as I try to weed out the copies from my dwindling collection. I thank you all in advance for the help . Cheers, Al.

Hi Al......glad you appreciate this forum for what it is: a place to learn!! We've all made mistakes buddy - nothing to worry about. But through sites such as this one - we learn to recognize the good from the bad and in the end - that education saves up money and headaches!
Cheers!

Al,
Your not having much luck mate.
I feel sorry for your situation, but at least within the forum you now have a sounding board before you buy anything in future.
I feel I will have to award you a 25 year faithful service cross or an Ostmedal, just for your sheer effort and doggedness.
. Which would you prefer?
PM where to send it and I will stick it in the post.
Best Regards
Jock
nice one jock your a good man

Jock, thank you my friend. I have a 25 year cross and an Ostmedal but they are probably fake. Maybe I'll post pics to get opinions. I do not plan to give up just yet. I was thinking of startring a thread on most fakes in a collection. Thanks for all the support guys. Al
