SS Armband, opinions wanted!

[von Hacht]

Hello!

I have a chance to buy this armband, these two pictures are the only two I have at the momet. What do you think? It looks ok to me but I have to be sure. How much should it cost??

Thanks
v.H.

von Hacht....It may be me but I'm not sure the material is right for the swastika and the white backdrop....I have seen Hitler Youth armbands with the same material for the swastika but not an SS....Ones I'm familiar with have a corrugated (rippled) material.....Also condition looks rather too new IMHO...Hope this helps....Bodes

Im my opinion it is . I have a very nice one that has been discussed on this forum and I took it to the MAX show and they loved it. the white circle should be ribbed as well as the swastika and black borders. the red cloth should be a nice heavt material. here is mine;<TABLE class=tborder cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=6 width="100%" align=center border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD class=alt1 width=175></TD><TD class=alt2><!-- icon and title -->

Nice original SS brassard Glenn I would agree with the other concerns on the first one posted and would pass on it.

This is a poor quality fake. The material is wrong, the RZM tag is fake. there is not much to say about this piece. The value-zero

I would agree Glenn B....The style you posted is what I'd call "textbook"....It's similar to the one I own except mine has a bevo tag....Bodes

Thank you all for your replies, it is not so easy to know how the original one should look like. I was offered this one for very good price and that is why I got suspicious.
