Vern, the DC museum is a great place no doubt. But over the years they have had some problems with authenticating items.. It is just now they seem to have things going pretty well.

The books author was an employee of the museum years ago. He left and his work is unparalleled in the fake holocaust industry. The book is old now but still a must if you want to venture even close to this area of collecting!

2nd photo. In a dusty corner of my old shop this SS command flag still is there! Same runes, stitching, material as the armband.. Many got burned on his pieces...
