Runaway, look at the VW in the 'W' on the 'Waffen', that and the stamp.

Although some collectors insist that they exist, I have never seen an original printed version of this Waffen-SS armband and this one depicted is another bad reproduction. Stick with the known original BeVo version. Good luck, Chris

I think Bill Rannow showed a good example of a PRINTED version ( Dachau-find ) on this forum .
The armband that started this thread looks nothing like it - very easy to fake , but they didn't even get the " W " right .. ?
