NSDAP wool armband cut-out w/ RZM tags, authentic?

Howdy, I found this wool NSDAP armband cut-out at a local dealer. I am relatively new to collecting TR items and especially those w/ RZM tags. Does this look authentic? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While cloth is completely new and clean, the tag is broken and wrinkled
I don't think that is a good piece of armband ( made style SS armband ), however the RZM tag looks well for a NSDAP armband

Good point about the difference in condition between the RZM tag & the cut-out. May I ask why you believe the cut-out is fake? I'm not questioning your knowledge, I am trying to learn as I am new to collecting

Hello again ;

The new state and the badly sewn are my only arguments.

What do you mean by badly sewn? The stitching looks the same as armbands I have bought from reputable dealers like The Ruptured Duck. Just asking for clarification

& I have no emotional attachment to this piece. The dealer has a 5 day return policy so if it is fake I can easily return it. I am still learning so I am trying to learn how to spot red flags. I can pick out obvious fakes but this one is throwing me for a loop
