NSDAP leader armband ??

[Winkelman]

Would the construction of this armband be correct ?

Since I only knew the " better quality " ones with the ribbed white circle & swastika , I assumed this one to be a fake .
However , now I see similar ones with YELLOW " Zellon " that are original . This one seems different , more tinsel like gold .


Is this simply a later version and original ? And shouldn't there be coloured borders or were these abolished at some time ?

Thanks for all help .. !

No label , and no stamp " Oben " , but a vague round stamp .

[Winkelman]

Compared to one that I do like , is it just an earlier make ?

The Swastika on the upper one does seem nicely " squared " , though .

I am really confused .. !

[ironfist]

not for me

not for me .
The material in the centre does not look correct and there should be a edging
as you suggested to the circle

Modern reproduction

Thank you - there is in fact gold piping around the white roundel as well , just very thin gold tinsel . Never saw this before .
But some originals seem to have the same unribbed black and white sections , only with yellow / Zellon edges .

Nope nothing I would own

Those leaves are horrid, definitely not a good one.

Thanks again .. ! I see the lack of quality in the leaves now too .

Just wanted to let you know that I thought it looked somewhat like the following ( trying to keep a bit of reference material ) .

The white and black material is not ribbed in the usual way either , but - the piping here is yellow instead of tinsel gold . That is why I was confused ..
