I am looking at these on a very small screen but both look OK to me.
There are two types of the armband, on printed and one embroidered but there are fakes believe it or not and strangely the embroidered one is more likely to be fake.
However, you should post them both here;
https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/nationale-volksarmee/
It's the NVA sub-forum but is the best place for all DDR "Bewaffnete Organen" items.
I'll look again on a big screen when I have time.

Thanks I posted over there didn’t see it. It does look like mine is nearly identical to an original someone posted previously comparing to a fake. Thank you.

No problem with either, they arn't really reproduced because there are so many thousands around in surplus .

This is true in general but there are fakes of the armband surprisingly. The main feature with them is the inferior embroidery in which parts of letters are joined together where there should be gaps.

It's hard to imagine how there can be money in that but I suppose it depends on where they are made really. If it is some third world sweatshop making a thousand for one dollar then maybe?
