I don't believe any printed SS armbands exist...if I'm correct that the majority of them were designed for wear with the black uniforms that quickly went out of service once the war started...any other use for them would probably be filled by pre-made stock of the original multi-piece ones lying about. So I don't think printed ones existed (in a significant number at least)


you should doubt this one because it appears to me the stitching has not aged the same as the band...making be believe that it's been artificially aged or made from modern fibers.
