    Volkssturm armband

    I know cloth-items are a mine-field, so I thought I'd post a Volkssturm armband I was thinking about buying. Does it look legit? The seller doesn't sell a lot of militaria, but sometimes good stuff finds its way there. Any help would be appreciated.

      Moot point, sold to someone else for just under $200. Still very curious if it was legit and it that price was high or low, for future reference.

        looks ok to me, I had no idea someone would give me 200 for one, I bougt one for $60 a couple years back, you can find them sewn together or unsewn (like mine) I would prefer a sewn one though

        keep an eye on the estand or post in the wanted section or here

          Thanks for the input! I think I might post in the wanted ad. I certainly would not have been willing to spend near $200, even if I had heard on time that it is legitimate.

            Bringing this one back up. Why is there so much extra red on the top? Was this one at the end of the sheet of them? Very interesting....

              It looks to me the cloth itself is read ?? And besides I have to say the eagle looks

              very primitive,perhaps even too primitive !!!

              Have you had the chance to run it under UV light ??

                I've been the eagles in at least 5 variations. There is the pointed wings variant, pointed head variant, right eagle's head facing left variant etc. It's fine.

                  Well I do think you are right...

                  What do you think about red cloth being used,as opposed to white with red print ??

                    Probably just a different maker construction or something along those lines. Not sure how I was made like that though

                      Its possible,these armbands does come in variation...

                      Meaning variation in eagles,the colour (German flag) was desided on top level..

                      I only have 1 VS armband and the eagle and its wings are much more accurate..

                        These have been faked for a long time. Because they were crudely made, in seemingly infinite variations, authenticating these is hard. I don't see any red flags on this example but in any case, $200 is much too high for one of these- $50-$75 is realistic.

                          My thoughts also
