    Can anyone ID these armbands

    hi
    Can anyone help with the identification of these armbands. I am not even sure the last one shown is an armband as it only measures 12 inches long.
    I have searched the forum without any results.
    Also, is it possible to confirm if they are original as I know alot of copies exist out there.
    Perhaps they are fantasy items?
    Thanks in advance
    andy

          last one

          This reads:
          TD 1925 Germannstauf-I think. As already stated, it is only 12 inches long.
          thanks

            The 3rd piece was probably either an armband or intended for pinning or tying to the chest or back--it's for a 1925 'Hermanns Run' for members of the DT--German Gymnastic organization.
            The first band is misspelled--it should be Ordnung, which isn't a good sign.
            I've never seen a Volkssturm band like the second, and I've never seen one that was stamped with an issue stamp/date. IMO the first 2 are very questionable; the third is original.

              Thank you Erich for your input.
              I agree it looks bad for the first armband in relation to the spelling mistake. Has anyone else come across the Volkssturm armband shown?
              Thanks

                I agree with Erich's assessment.
