Not sure about this armband- Sonderkommando Trawniki

[Cannonman17]

I'm not even sure if this is in the right category because I don't know what it is for one and two, I don't know if it's real. I'm guessing that it's a reproduction but I would like you folks to confirm this. Would love to find out that I'm wrong about it.

This holocaust stuff has been faked so heavily I am afraid to hazard a guess.

Another product of the 4th Reich.

Cool, that's kind of what I thought but I wanted to be sure. Just so I know for the future, what should I look for, what are the give aways of it being repro? Thanks again, I appreciate it.

Make a mental note of this white cotton material used in the construction of the armband. While it does look convincing, indeed it might well be old cloth, it is used in a whole range of fake/fantasy armbands.

I think this too might even be a fantasy design?

Cheers, Ade.

The fellow who traded this armband to me seems to be a bit upset that I am saying it's a reproduction and is asking why I feel it is bad, other than what Adrian has already said, is there anything else about it that I can point out?? Thanks-

[militarymania]

fake material,fake ink stamp,fake title,all fake,,,what else can be said,,,no such unit existed with this designation that i can find,,,

[Cannonman17]

WHY is it fake? How do you know it's fake. I want to learn too, not just to tell my friend. No such unit for instance is good, I didn't know that.

Wasnt the sondercommando the jews who helped put the dead in the crematorium?
