I was thinking about putting this armband up in the for sale section. I have heard different opinions that it is a 60's fantasy piece but most say its original. I just want to be certain before i post. As you can see its a printed armband. thanks

LEGION-
THE ARMBAND IS NOT A FANTASY PIECE AS THIS DESIGN EXISTED AND IS MOST COMMON. THE QUESTION IS IF IT IS PERIOD OR NOT. FROM THE IMAGES, IT APPEARS TO THAT. PERIOD PRINTED ARMBANDS DID EXIST AND THIS APPEARS TO BE ONE OF THEM.

Thanks robert and bob i got this in an indirect vet buy. I just remember reading in a book that these were fantasy items but have seen these on several dealer sites. I just wanted to be 100% sure before selling something thats bad. thanks again Big Grin
