Nordland cuff, fake?

[Larry L]

Gentlemen!
Hopefully someone can give some comments on that Nordland officer cuffband.
This was offered to me to trade along with some other items.
Nothing glows under the black light. There are seven those threads on top and bottom of the cuff. It passes also thread burning test.
From the back I can't say nothing because stiching is not visible.

Pictures are not the best possible, but the best I can currently do.
Hope someone recognizes this either or

I'm thinking to pass this one because my knowledge on these cloth items is almost zero and don't want to trade good stuff for some junk.

Any ideas?

Hello Larry !

I do not like the cuff band I can see from the scans. The letters embroidery looks very far from originals I have ever seen. Just my opinion

Cheers,

Hi Larry;

Definitely pass on it. It's not even close to what an original RZM hand embroidered officers band looks like.

I agree with my fellow forum users comments above, also the band weave is not like the originals either, I copied and lightened your photo, I suspect the aluminium edges are polyester tinsel and possibly the wording also, this is a current fake,

cheers,

Gary

Gentlemen!
Thank you very much of your comments! I appreciate those!
I will definitely pass this cuffband now!

This forum is absolutely the best
