Is this an original armband?

The disk is a somewhat stained off white but appears pristine because of the camera flash.

in every detail a copy

Thanks Robert. It looked like a very good piece to me.

Mark -

Do use the Search feature on this Forum for invaluable references. Just input "SS Arm Band" and read on for the input and pictures of dozens of members over the years.

I have researched the armband from book references, waf comments on other members examples and dealer sites. The only thing I found about my armband that might be questionable is the narrow black trim and the uneven stitching of that trim.

Armband

Mark,
For starters, the RZM tag is fake. This tag is machine sewn on first. The white background is then sewn over it on the other side. I am sure you can construct the rest of this sad story.

Thanks, Peter. Robert has sent me a p.m. also stating that the tag does not match known originals. I am convinced now that I have a fake.
