Hi

Recently bought this armband online, just wanted to know if its authentic? I know theres alot of fakes going about. Also does anyone know anything about this type? Ive see the red and black ones before, read some where they were combat and these are for support roles?

Thanks

P.s sorry for bad lighting in images

Looks ok to me, but it's quite hard to tell.

Original example. These were worn by those who were not Wehrmacht, but were employed and were working under the wehrmacht. Not related to the volkssturm

The armband looks fine.. This particular armband was worn by uniformed German personnel who were attached to the Armed Forces. Personnel in such organizations like the Reichsbahn and Reichsarbietsdienst.

The “Deutsche Wehrmacht”, (German Armed Forces), armband was one of the armbands introduced with the Army Mobilization Order of March 12TH 1937 and was designed for wear by non-uniformed personnel serving with the Armed Forces. Of Note: New regulations of October 1ST 1941 restricted wear of this armband to non-uniformed non-combatant personnel.

Here is a photo of a RAD member with the armband.

P.S.

Not an armband that would have been worn by the Volksturm...
