Most look OK to me...not sure what the backwards swaz is supposed to represent.

Br. James

The backwards moving tinnie supposedly represents a Lombardi artifact dating from 500 AD. There are ten pieces total in this set, all of which purportedly represent ancient uses of the Hackenkreuz. The year and location of each relic is embossed on the backs of these.

Great display

ooo

Ron, thank you for posting this overview. A great display and a rare armband!

Hello Ron
Your bracelet is a fantasy piece, it never existed and it is available in different variants

Guy,

Actually knew that and used it for photo effect.

Probably should not have done that as it is certainly confusing to the unknowing.

Was fooled by this one a few years back at the MAX show, and was advised shortly thereafter.

Good of you to point it out!

Best regards,

[RonR]

Another "bad" one from the same show......

Hi,

I have four different street collection WHW armbands as shown in post 6 by RonR. These were sold to me several years ago by a major German forum sponsor, as original.
Like Ron's, the armbands were "unissued"; having never been sewn into a band.
I remember three were advertised on the website, then I received an email informing me of the existence of the fourth armband for "KreigsWHW" - all bearing WHW ink stamp markings for Vienna!
Bought, and still have all four, even posted a thread on the forum asking for information or photographs of these armbands in wear.
No responses, thought they were fake; a little "to good to be true".
They will now go in the trash!
Nice original WHW Swastika History badges at the start of the thread though.

Best wishes,

John.
