SS armband

Hello all this was in a batch of armbands I picked this weekend ... not sure if authentic or not. Any help would be appreciated

I very much like the materials and construction used to make this piece. IMO it s a period original cotton armband intended for wear on the brownshirt. Compare to G 's example his has a printed swastika on the center roundel. Best regards.

Took a little while to find a armband with a similar construction method for the center roundel and swastika but I have a positive match. I still think the black edge borders are of period especially when compared to G 's example. This NSDAP armband is from Wittman's Militaria.
