Luft yellow armband

[hs132]

Hello, Todays unexpected find. It is missing some of the fabric and its a finer type material than the one I own. The eagle and lettering seem true. I wish I could say it came out of the woodwork. Best, Bill

Nice, been looking for one. To many repros of these out, especially gunbrokers.

Hello All,
I have just received one of these armbands through the post and taken some photos. I would be grateful for opinions. I have done homework (hopefully) on the Forum and believe it to be genuine. As you can see it is not the best condition but I am happy with it.
Regards,
Andy

Here are two 'Deutsche Luftwaffe' armbands that I brought eight years apart. In my opinion, it shows the difference between a recently producted armband, top, and a wartime original. By the way, the nice 'shiny' one was brought from Regimentals!

Grateful for views to make sure I am on the right lines.
Regards,
Andy

Andy, You have found an original rough fabric band IMO. It's a pity that it has the hole.

and certainely sold as original by the old crook. This team is amazing. Buying from them (been there done that ) is like eating fugu

IMO no doubt on your last buying.

Thanks for the comments gents. Steve, I would rather the hole wasn't there but it was cheap and it is original, so I don't mind that much. Pierre, I used to buy many things from then in the 1980's and 1990's. they conned me for years, like so many others. Never again!
Regards,
Andy
