NSDAP Armband: For Real?

[wlwhittier]

This came from the same lot as other items I've posted recently.

I have reservations about it being genuine.

It's 15" X 3 3/4", of what looks like wool felt. Colors are vivid, and if it's been worn, it wasn't often: there's no soil evident.

The white circle is 3 1/4", of a woven fabric; the Swastika is ~2", well finished, and also felt.

I'm aware that much of this type insignia has been reproduced over the years.

Your opinions are most welcome...

Personally I don't like it...I would not buy it for myself...MHO...

The base material appears to be either felt or a course wool.Neither items were used in the construction of period examples. From the pictures, I believe it to be a reproduction.

Wrong construction of the swastika and wrong materials for the body. Not genuine.

Hi , I agree , I have not seen an NSDAP armband constructed in this way before so I also say it's a fake, sorry , Leon.

Thanks, folks...I'll lick my wounds and heal. No one to blame but myself, for a hasty purchase. Ah, so...

The swas is so wrong
