SS armbinde.

Hi!
I have been offerd this one.
But have no clue if its genuine or not?
Could please someone bring some light over it?

[NSDAP Sammler]

I do not like it. The sewing looks weird, too baggy, the Swaz's arms look unusually narrow and it looks like it was made yesterday. I have never seen a white RZM ink stamp on these Armbands.

Hi!
Many thanks for your opinion

It may stand a chance, wait for other opinions...

I think they used original typical RZM red cloth as base, the roundel and H.K are for sure reproduction.

I agree with NSDAP Sammler and carlsson1982 regarding authenticity. I don’t necessarily agree with the base textile being authentic. The bolts of fabric did have markings such as the RZM mark on bolts of fabric intended for uniforms, however, on armband textile, I find the iron-on markings much more common.

The material used on the black border is not quite correct, either.
