SS armband

Hi, can anyone have a look at this cotton armband and share opinions about its authenticity? Thanks!

Hello this would not be a piece for me. The materials (textile weave) look close to period original armbands. But the construction method is way odd. The center round and black edge bead look disproportionate to originals, and the sewing/stitching method especially of the black edge materials look poorly executed. Also of note is the center round looks to be bevo woven? But the swas imprint can be seen on the interior very unusual if not downright unheard of on a period constructed SS or a nsdap brassard. JMO kindest regards.
