    Hello.
    After my search heer in the forum, I don't have found any
    similar that have been confirmed as good, so I believe is
    a repro.
    I would like a second opinion, which confirms mine or not.
    Thanks.
    Regards, Jannis.

    What makes you believe it's a repro?

    Agree. Unless I'm missing something and happy to be correct, but looks like the thousands of printed originals that we see so often.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    Helle JMM and Map .
    First of all,thanks both for your comment.
    My criteria are: Overall contition,printing,stamp.
    Overall condition: looks used and the wear is even as it should be.
    Printing: is as it should be, and so is the reverse side.
    Stamp: I picked out two features, the eagle and the letter "R",to compare.
    See both eagles from my point of view on the left.
    When confirmed originals, the eagles look the other way or mixed.
    The letter "R" looks different too.
    With these criteria, I have not found any confirmed originals.
    I just wanted to be sure when I buy this one.
    If anyone knows this armband is another variant of the
    originals, please confirm it and if is possible
    to add a photo.
    Thank all.
    As allways, every opinion and comment is welcome.
    Regards, Jannis.

    I'm no expert but in my opinion your armband is not a repro but a variation. But let's wait what others will have to say. As MAP says, will be happy to be corrected.
    These armbands are from late 1944 so not much "rules" or "inspections" were made at that time with the war coming to an end. Many variations were made (size and type of letters and different eagles - both pointing to the inside; both to the outside or one to the inside and other to the outside)
    I'm posting two pics of armbands that look like yours and were sold by e-medals and Icollector. Also is a link to a small you tube video on the DVW armbinde variations.

    I belief it is an original one as well. The reproductions usually have an eagle which looks like a pigeon:

    I was offered a similar one not long ago by a trusted collector. Sadly I did not save the image.
    That said, the eagles looking at the same direction is something I have never before seen.
