Arm band opinion requested

[jayhawkhenry]

Hello everyone these are arm bands I purchased in the 70's from a military auction site. I have been going through my collection after discovering a sleeve eagle I posted was a fake.

Both are printed, #2 has thick heavy print.

I will take a deep breath now and await your input on these two items.
Thanks for your help.

Anyone taking a look?

I feel quite sure that both are reproductions. Original printed bands are generally done with a thin ink that soaks through to the other side of the fabric and does not leave a noticeable ink deposit on the surface. This looks like the type of textile silk screening that anyone could do with a kit from a craft store.
