Armband - "Im Dienst der Waffen SS" ?

#1

Post by Black Dudley » 11 Dec 2014, 14:39

Came across a couple of SS armbands in a antique shop - SS red cross armband (I'm certain is a fake) and this printed one - "Im Dienst der Waffen SS" measures 9cm x 225 cm, I'm not so familiar with armbands, especially SS armbands - but what struck me straight away was the script, it appears to be two types, old German and modern German, also no stamp mark, expected to see one. Spent time looking through the internet, found some but not too many examples, mainly yellow cloth but also white cloth, some with stamps others without. However didn't find a single one with this double style of type, as I've said I didn't find many examples. Any members know more ?

Mark - I didn't write anywhere, I'd bought anything ! - so I won't be running anywhere. Here's a picture of another variant type of a fake SS red cross armband, from the shop. Repeating myself, as I said in the original post, the first line (I'm certain its a fake).
