My poor HJ armband

[K Bandow]

I got this last week. By purchasing it, I may have saved it from destruction.
For $10, I think I did myself & it a favor.
I have reason to believe mice and moths took their toll on it.
I know it is not perfect in any way, but it is still displayable, and the price was right!
Thanks for looking!

Hi Karl, I know it is now in relic condition, but it does have a certain charm.

Mint condition is nice, but sometimes I look at items in museums that are in poor condition and I can enjoy seeing them just as much.

I am sure you will get more that $10 worth of pleasure out of owning this in the years to come? Afterall what does $10 buy you in today's world.

Cheers, Ade.

It has character, yes? "pulled from a warzone" as it were....

[Todd Holmes]

Looks like Fido got a hold of it.

Still a piece of history.

Id happily have that.Love that torn up salty look,maybe mounted next to a mint one.

Well, as a mint collector is must say it have for sure more character then a better example with mot holes. Or you buy real mint our you go for real relic condition; both outer sides have their charmes.

I like to think it was worn by one of Berlin's defenders.

A mint HJ armband can sell for upwards of 185 dollars nowadays . You did well for $10 dollars .
