Opinions On this SS Allgemeine Armband

[AZWWIICOLLECTOR]

Hello fellow history enthusiasts! I’d like opinions on this SS Allgemeine Armband I’ve had for many years but never Looked into it because I didn’t want to be disappointed if it was fake lol so I let it linger on in my collection until now. I used a black light and I really didn’t know what to expect but nothing glowed with the light or from what this novice could tell it didn’t glow (albeit again I could be wrong just because I really didn’t know what to expect as was my first black light experience)

Thank you for the responses in advance

Hi AZ. Unfortunately that armband is all the way bad.

Hi AZ. Unfortunately that armband is all the way bad.

Care to elaborate as to why, that is one way members can acquire knowledge...'all the way bad' does nothing..

Sure, it was late yesterday here so I just quickly mentioned armband is fake.


On the front side of the armband, note how near black stripes are to the end of the armband. It not should be like that, there should be some red fabric between border and black stripe. Early Kampfzeit SS armband can see those black stripes are end of the border.

Swastika is too thick.

And the RZM tags are fake, note how on the Reichsführer SS the "SS" looks more like "55".

Here we can see list of the fake RZM tags, and there is our friend "127/37"
