bsweeney Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Any experts that can give input on this armband, is it genuine ? There is no label on it. Edited March 13, 2009 by bsweeney
lach470 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 A picture of the inside would help greatly....the tinnie is a HJ tinnie. The armband looks to be late war one piece construction. A lot of reproduced pieces are one piecers. A look at the inside and the closeup of the stitching would help. Rob

lach470 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Hi! It's definitely a one piecer....These are tricky. First take on this one is that it's a good one. The stitiching looks good but closeups would be nice. These are considered late war type armbands. They go for about $65 I think. The three piece are the better type - earlier made and go for considerably more. You can find two piece examples as well. Hope that helps!Cheers!Rob

bsweeney Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks' RobGot a black light and the piece did not glow... lint on it did but piece itself did not.
Mike Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Got a black light and the piece did not glow... lint on it did but piece itself did not.That's a really good sign but ..as Rob said , these are tricky . Back in the early 70's Delta Int (or one of those outfits) flooded the market with silk screened Armbands like this. They were a "tad" smaller than the originals and for some reason they were so stiff they felt like they'd been soaking in starch (anyone else remember those ?) I use to see them at shows in bundles and the "story" was they were just found in Germany(surprised ? )
