Hi, personally I would pass on this one. It could be OK, but it exhibits several odd features which make me very dubious about it.

First off, the one peice cut out swastika sewn on as one peice.

The red stitching done on the white parts is also slightly odd.

The ink stampted makers marks and lack of RZM tag is another concern. I realise not every armband has the tag and it could be an early peice.

Cheers, Ade.

ade is it ok for nsdap armbands to have a one piece swas like this yes?

Hi Ewan, most show mutli peice swastikas. But rather than generalise it is perhaps always best to discuss an individual item.

Cheers, Ade.

Thx, It's comming from a very reliable source..I did some reserch and found some similarities with other HJ-band (early type), I think this one is Ok.

I would like to see this piece in hand for a more definitive opinion. However, my first impression was that this is an early pre RZM homemade or locally produced kampfbinde. Much I see in the images I do like.
