Hi Jon,
what colour is that RZM tag ???? is the glue holding it on the arm band a dark brown in colour and has a crazed effect ???

Hello Seigfried

I am no expert on armbands, nonetheless I do not really like the armband you have posted. The construction of the swastika is different than I have seen, the item looks too "new" and the rzm tag is wrong as well (is it glued to the fabric?). If you have a black light, see if the white disc glows, if it does it is most likely (but not always) post war material. If it were me, I would pass on it unless the real forum experts state otherwise.

Best Regards
Mike

Many thanks for the replies.

I am NOT an expert here - but it looks NOTHING like the MANY types and variations I have seen...... Perhaps somone else will chip in, eh ?

I agree with the others on this one it is not like any i have owned ,the stiching on the white disk doesnt look right to me,the black material the swastika is made out of and the way it is cut and stiched doesnt look right to me,also if the armband is in super mint condition why isnt the tag in super mint condition as well?could you post better close ups of the swastika and the white disk?

That's a good one, Greg . Anyway how about the RZM tag, I have a cotten armband with a tag very similar to this tag. Is this tag a known fake .
