[Jokka]

Is this a genuine pre-1945 armband ?
Please post your opinions, I don't like to waste my money.
All opinions are very appreciated
Thanks !

At first glance I do not like it at all, Thread looks like new and the inner roundel looks fake but need better photo's of the swaz...

Hello I dont believe this one is original. Not because of the condition but the way it was put together. Best regards. I have had originals with the same roundel. Haveing looked again I would say it was good.

Thanks guys. Would like more opinions as I have bought it but not paid it yet.

Can we have some close ups of the construction of the swaz please?

[Jokka]

These are all the pictures I have, I can take some when I receive it, but then I have to pay first.

I tried to fix the pictures a bit, now you can see how the swastika is put together, hope it helps.

The armband is not glowing in UV light and are supposedly from a Nazi surplus storage in Westfallen

I don´t like it, looks strange to me! Better get a safe original one!

[Jokka]

Have already bought it, have not payed or received it yet.
I have to be 100% sure it's bad before I can cancel the deal.

Here's a close up picture.

If I would be you, I would really consider to return it to the dealer. I personally don´t like the armband. The swastika is not centered in the white circle area and looks to me too new. Here´s mine for comparison. I am quite sure mine is original.

Not all roundels are the same. I have had originals that were just like the one that started the thread.
