Help authenticating SS Armband
Just need help knowing whether or not this is a fake. I’ve received mixed opinions on other forums and wanted to see what you guys thought. It is from germanmilitaria.com. Thank you

Tag and cotton cloth look well.
To me it's an original SS-Allgemeine armband.

Re: Help authenticating SS Armband
Might be a good one, at least itis NOT one of these ReddickMilitaria ones that many many dealers offer for sale as genuine TR era.I base my opinion on *the white rondel shows period use ands wear and tear, (based on ones I have in collection) modern repros have a weird material being used as the rondel,not fine as period ones, I see black threadfs in back that was used to attach to uniforms as how it was done during the TR, but of course that can be faked to decieve as well,the tag seems like a poor copy though, now sharpas real ones, looks like a copier made one. not printed as real ones were.
