HJ Armband fantasy?

[milcol1]

Is the picture of the attached HJ armband a fantasy piece?

This pattern armband was one of several Eastern European Youth Group armbands reproduced in the late 1960's. Your armband is identical in appearance to the ones sold nearly fourty years ago. Genuine examples did exist. However, I have never encountered an example I would consider genuine.

I too have never seen anything authentic that looks like this. Given the chance - I would pass.....closest legit armband that I've seen that "kind of" ressembles this is a studentbund armband.

Might not be authentic but its design is attractive nevertheless. Cheers, Raul.
