IMO not original. These early party armbands have been heavily faked for some reason--originals are extremely difficult to find. This one's construction, materials, and the fake stamping are problematic.

Hello Erich,

Thank you for the reply. These armbands are intriguing to me. I've seen a few pop up in period clips on documentaries and would like to add one to the collection. Unfortunately, I agree that most seem to be fake. I'd didn't care for the stamp or the swastika but given there are none in the marketplace to compare it to it is hard to make the call sometimes.

Thanks again,
Tim

Fake !

Remember based on period regulation and rules originals should have gold or silver stripes, and a lot of originals seem to have some sort of approval stamp (also mentioned in regulation, but not specifically to these bands) half on the circle and half on the red material.
