I think, the above statement is hasty.

The then so-called "Ärmelband" / also "Ärmelstreifen" were already in the 1960s, and the 1970s by former German manufacturers almost 1:1
reproduced, in perfect qualities.

Ärmelband https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ärmelband

Who among us can trust himself, to make an assessment based on a few photos, I personally unfortunately am not able to do this.

Pictures can be enlarged and appreciate the necessary details....I reiterate what I said.

I learned from an old member, sadly disappeared, of our Forum ( John G. ) that not everything can be considered fake.
Sometimes they seem like it, but they are not. He gave me good advice, and I stopped being impulsive and obsessed with copies.

Here an example of fake Grossdeutschland Bevo cuff title ; https://www.ebay.com/itm/German-Army-cu ... 2187796568
It is declared as reproduction, no one wants to deceive anyone.

I see, but clearly the material is completely diferent, you can almost smell the synthetic fabric, also...no silver sewing.
