Here is the lot by the way, the party armband has a SS RZM tag, and not sewn together, heavy wool...

Sonderkommando armband is a fantasy piece. You need better close ups of the rest. SA Sports armband may have a good chance.

Fantasy piece?...really Charles?...Thanks, here is the armband with SS RZM tag, maybe a unfinished piece?...has some slight mothing, multi-piece swazy, heavy wool, just lacks the 2 black stripes, or could it be a greatcoat one?...wasn't there a thread on these?
Thanks Again.

Gary

Hersteller 275 is a known manufacturer of SS armbands The serial number is earlier than most of their wares.

Sorry Gary anything I say would be speculation. The Trawniki armband I would always have thought to be fake unless of course it has a rock solid provenance ?

Not saying that yours is fake or anything like that. **** mine could be for all i know. I noticed the center of you swaztika has stiching through it making a square in the center. Most of the ones i see do not ant neither does mine look close

The square stitching is not the sign of a fake. I think that was a style that was adopted on later bands.
