Appears OK, but images are too close to tell for sure.

I like it despite the unusual pattern of the border stripes...

[wewelsburg]

ive never seen stripes that run that way and where is the rzm tag that the thread says it has,please show it.

[Arran]

The ad says it is without RZM tag...

It looks like tinypic has deleted the main photo. Why not post the pics here?

The stripe is not the correct material, but this may be pre-RZM. Always a tough call.

oops forgive me thought it had a tag.sorry yeah bigger photo for thoughts please!

Hello,

Here is a new test for a total view




Thanks for your comments

Here is a period pic from 1934 of an officer posing in his overcoat.

Here is a closeup of the armband. I have tinkered with the settings to bring out the black stripes. I do believe they are running horizontally. The RZM took over control of SS armbands in 1934. So, this could be a pre-RZM example. Does anyone have any other examples of armbands with horizontal stripes?

I stand corrected
