Hi,I think the Party Armband is good,did you blacklight it?It's Crude but looks OK.I have an identical Fliegerhorst Armband I believe it to be original.I have many Fliegerhorst pins and think this base used armbands instead of pins.Jay Parisi

Hello Legion, I believe in the "early days" there were some pretty crude homemade armbands. Perhaps this is one? Regards, Leipzig

I have my doubts about the party armband. Aside from the fact that the sewing and circle edge treatment look like they were done the morning after a Bierfest, the ribbon used for the swastika is still being made and the stitch size is not close to what is generally found used on originals. That said, anything is possible, but I wouldn't want it.
