Fake Printed H J Armbands Have Now Been Around For At Least 40 Years. If They Are Period, I Doubt They Were Used In The Reich Itslef. As This Is A Very Common Item, I Would Opt For The Standard Multiple Piece Armband That Has No Questions Attached To It.

The debate on printed armbands not withstanding, I say this one is fake.

The stitchung is sloppy, registration is off, screen used to print was too fine, and imulsion was sloppy. Not the quality you would expect -- a very amauterish job.

I use to print T-shirts in college.

I believe that printed HJ armbands may have been used during the Third Reich but I do not believe this could be one of them. The printing is not what I would expect for an original item and it looks like it may have been artificially aged.

I agree with Cris.

if this was original its still not worth the hassle of buying,standard hj armbands are easy to pick up and you will never have a prob re-selling, as for the printed armbands if ever you decide to re-sell you will come up against a brick wall of people who are coninced they are bad
