Org. Todt armband

[Fixbayonets!]

I picked up this Org. Todt armband & was wondering if anyone had some information on it? I searched the forum for posts on Org. Todt armbands & dealer sites but I can't find the same one to compare it to. Thanks in advance!

The reason you cannot find another one like yours to compare is because yours is wacked!!!

So I take it "wacked" means it is a fake or a fantasy item that did not even exist?

Thanks,

Yeah...I don't believe this to be real. Sorry.

Here's a similar one from a dealer...Same ribbed material and embroidery.
Different borders. Border styles have to do with rank, if I am not mistaken

Thanks, I needed a little clarification because where I come from "wacked" means that shot it in the head and dumped it in the alley.

So I see the similar armband on the dealers website, is the one that he shows an original?

Thanks,
Rob

I don't trust him. Bought a field police gorget that was BAD...he refunded money tho...

That particular dealer does have a "not so spotless" reputation...good stuff mixed in with bad stuff... a gamble!

Okay, thanks!

Hampshire Medals have one on thier website, but it's a higher ranking insignia I think, but it's original. (and not cheap!)

If old Charlie Synder had one it wasn't found sewn to a pair of EBs undies was it lol.. He is so bad.. Regards, Johnno.

Knowledge will benefit more from discussing the construction details of this OT brassard than from commenting on that dealer's reputation, wont'it? Thank you for remarks instrumental in telling an original item from a bad one.
