Hi,
I've been trying to figure out the best place to load these as it seems political cloth items fall through the cracks in the the available forums. Anyway...
I'm pretty sure these are all repros but would like confirmation. I have bigger/better scans if required. The only thing that reacts to blacklight is the white circle surrounding the swas on the DLV eagle. No tags or markings of any sort on anything.
First is a HJ Armband. Appears to be printed on fairly stiff cotton. About 19 x 9.5 cm.
Second will be a NSDAP Political Leaders Armband. Thick red felt, separately applied ~15 mm wide gold metal thread oakleaf bands, separately applied (water-stained) ?cotton white circle and black one-piece swas. The white circle and black swas are picked out with gold metal/wire thread. Size is ~21 x 11.5 cm.
Lastly, a DLV sleeve patch eagle, ~55 mm diameter, bullion eagle with ~48 mm wingspan.
Pics to follow - more available if required. Note the armband scans have had to be reduced in size/resolution fairly significantly.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Mike K
