Don’t these usually have a D tag not a C tag?

Yes, it should normally have a "D" tag.

Should be a D tag but is it me or does something just not look right with this armband?

Hi Matx007 What doesn't look right to you?


I have seen arm bands with the c tag before. And have seen tabs with a different tag on them. Cliff

I do not like how the swastika touches the edge of the white roundel, also too much red on the outside of the black stripes, suspicious to me as well.

[kyles bullets]

Not an original armband to me. Does not look like period wool, more like modern felt in the pictures. Swastika circle and swastika itself are not correct proportion wise compared to originals. Lastly all SS armbands should have a D tag, no exceptions on original. Cuff bands and collar tabs are not comparable on a tax code level with the RZM.

Avoid this armband is my opinion...

[Darth2a]

I concur. Material is wrong, and the spacing of the black stripe is incorrect. My SS armband also has a "D" code. The Swas is also incorrect as mentioned previously. Avoid.

Correct Swas and roundel dimensions shown here.

To me it looks like it’s constructed with modern materials. Furthermore I don’t like how the swastika is proportioned in the roundel. If it was me I would save my money.

It does not look original to me in several areas. Material as already mentioned being the biggest point. Not one that I would want.

Also compare worn condition of tag, compared to pristine looking armband.

so if someone posseses a C tag SS armband ...it is a repro?... EC

I have 4 wool SS armbands with paper RZM tags, including an example without the black edge stripes. All have D series tags.

However, I would not rule out an SS armband with an original C series tag placed there by error. Or perhaps in a case where D series tags were not available to the manufacturer in time to meet a shipping deadline. Any number of plausible scenarios could be hypothesized.

mrec27777... Of course not. A real C series tag could be affixed to a real armband for any number of reasons:

1. See above
2. A dealer wants to pimp his armband, so he adds a C series tag, either real or fake.
3. A collector adds a C series tag to his armband, either real or fake.
4. A collector or dealer has several loose RZM tags and he forgets which one fell off the SS armband.
5. etc, etc, etc.
