NSDAP armband - opinions please

[ancientrelicsuk]

Hi Guys,

I would be very grateful for opinions on this party armband. It's a two-piece construction type with printed swastika on a sewn-on roundel. This type aways confuses me - I don't know whether it's period or a modern Eastern European reproduction, so I would appreciate other's views. There is no label and nothing glows under UV as far as I can see.

Many thanks for looking and for any comments.

All the best, Guy

humm

it may well be a late war type.

Thanks Ironfist, I appreciate the comment, but this type with the printed roundel, seems to me to be simple to reproduce.

Not a fan of this example, specifically because of the extra reinforcement at the top and bottom of the back seam. Typically seen with Eastern European repros.

Thanks Kyle, it will be one for the junk box.

I agree, that reinforcement is seen on almost all repros.

Well you learn something new every day .I did not know about the extra reinforcement lesson.interesting and thanks .more to be fore armed.with.
so a question (maby a stupid one ) as we are saying it is a modern repo why does it not glow .

Another example with similar reinforcing.

If it doesn't glow it could just be likely the fake is using older thread. There are a lot of armbands that don't glow and originals which do glow.
