Looks good to me.

I don't think it is possible to fake this kind of distress.

Quite odd how the Nord Division was never officially entitled
to a "Nord" cuff title
The regiments Reinhard Heydrich and Michael Gaissmair were,
along with Ski Battalion Norge
This one may well be a war time adaptation from a blank cuff
Its lack of quality in the embroidery removes it from a RZM type titles.

not 100% sure on this one

Not related to division Nord at all. The only Nord title was a prewar one, for one of the Standarten, I believe

Correct but the title was widely worn amongst members of the division as testament by many photos. There is also photos of transferred members still wearing the Nord cuff so while not official it was certainly tolerated.

Looks fake to me and aged with a blow torch.

Nord was also an SS-Oberabschnitt, this Abschitt was also wearing the Nord cuffband. Abschnitt Nord was Norway, so quite possibe regarding the embroidery style maybe it was foreign emboidered in Norway. This just as a thought comparable to Belgian embroidery style variants, but who knows for sure ...

Could be a part of the feldhernhalle band with fantasy hand embroidery ........

But wouldn't it be brownish on the reverse as well if this was the case.

Impossible to tell if it is genuine or not. Does not look like "normal" faked bands, but without provenance it can swing either way.

Thanks forum for all the opinions. Seem like its a difficult one, with some mixed opinions. For sure not aged with a blow torch. Not burned, and no weird smell to it. But dont remember seen other CT aged like this. My guess is it have been stored in direct sun for years. I dont have any history on it, so its a case where the item most speak for it self. The seller said it came from a large collection, that he bought. Got it to a fair price and thought it was worth to take a chance on.
It was purchased in Denmark, so a Norway connection could maybe be possible?

Thanks
