Looking for first SS purchase any feedback would be appreciated
Hello all, long time lurker and I just want to say thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I'm a new collector and thanks to this sub was able to successfully purchase my first NSDAP parteiabzeichenone. I've been searching for a while now on a nice SS armband, and thanks to this forum and posts from such users as FB and Coleman have probably passed on many fakes. I recently found this from what seems to be a reputable seller on this forum. From what I can tell the stitching of the ribbing, oval disk, and RZM tag seem legit, but of course heeding the warning from many users I would like some feedback before finalizing what would be my biggest collectible purchase to date. I tried to take the best screen shots possible, but if they're poor or can't provide you with a confident conclusion my apologies. Again appreciate any input.

****AND of course I realize now I put this in the wrong Forum Category. Would the mods be able to delete this so I can post under SS Uniforms?
Welcome aboard Grog!
Firstly, it’s always good to see such politeness and good manners. That’s the ticket.
Regarding the armband, I’m personally not happy about the grimyness of the white disc.. (something about it doesn’t ring true to me; it appears artificially aged to me, when the rest of the band is quite clean), but I am no expert in this field, so I shall instantly and happily defer to the later, more knowledgeable contributors..
Always happy to learn!
All the best,
Bob
On reflection, I’m not keen on the RZM label either!
Hi Gwar thanks for the response, unfortuntaely that's as close of a shot as I can get to the ribbing. I think I'm going to reach out to the seller and see if he can provide a clearer picture that I can share. Thank you.
