Have this posted on WAF but figured here would be good too. What would you buy? A tour guide armband, a Luftwaffe doorman armband or a champlain armband. I only have the funds to buy 1 and it is an auction so no money down. What would you pick if you were in this situation???

As far as rare,,I'd say they are all about the same. The Tour guide certainly looks cool!

They are all nice and not your basic entry level armbands [party,SA,In Service,HJ, etc.],,try are get all 3!!

If they weren't at about $200 each I would. I also only have about $250 so it won't happen in any way you put it. It always happens to me where when I'm low on money I find something like this....

Not having any resource books on armbands, considering the wear is there a chance the Chaplains armband is Imperial?

Sent you a pm with a link.

I don't know but I lost them all and I am very sad. Still a steal for them but I just didn't have the money.....
Chaplain I passed on, it is just too rough for my liking
The tour guide sold for $340
Doorman sold for $360......

Always another chance comes along out there. I certainly understand lack of funds.
What did the Chaplain go for?

Why don't you post a want list and some of us can keep our eyes open as we surf about.

The thing is that I want them all lol. I try to get any that I think are a good deal. the chaplain went for $140 plus fees and shipping so a grand total of $174.50. Only one bidder which was interesting IMO. I will post a list of the ones I'm mainly interested in on my banner below my posts. Thanks again for everyone's help and opinions.

That seems like a lot of $$$ for those arm bands.

I think the tour guide is worth more than what it sold for being a one of a kind and bullion and just a rare organization all together...

Depends whatever appeals but the market is niche for such things
and I still think too much money but the same can be said for most
Stuff these days.
