Hello Aahauge,
Thank you for the nice comments. I look forward to learning from you. The armband is definitely not new. The material is frail and the flash makes it look new. It is actually fairly soiled and worn. I found the same pattern of W.P. in an original photo from the Warsaw Uprising. The material is consistent with the other WW2 examples I've seen. That aside, I am eager to learn from your words and experience too. Please explain. I know these are homemade and very non-standard, which makes authenticating very difficult.
I have a lot to show you since this last post... medals/documents groups, a nice hat, and another armband. I will try to come back on tonight to share more.
Paul
