    We found this very cool Nazi armband at a Petrolania and antique car swap meet this Spring in Utah. I think that it might be a reproduction as it is in such fine shape, but it was certainly in a strange place at a collectors booth in this kind of swap meet. We got this and a very cool 6' wooden airplane prop from a teens or 20s airplane. Of course we bought it to add to the Petrolania collection we have at Lakeside Storage in Provo as you just don't see this kind of thing anymore. At least not at any of the places I go to!
    This seems like another rare find for old car and Petrolania collectors. So we have displayed it in one of the vintage gas stations as a part of history gone by, along with the cheap prices of gas from those olden days.

      I see Nazi items all the time and as you state much of it is fake.

      I know this is a part of "History" but... I cant see Nazi items.

      Virginia, these are collector's item & worth a lot of money if real. "History" as you say, & should be kept alive lest we forget & repeat the same errors. Seems like every new generation forgets & repeats the same mistakes. People who don't learn from other people's mistakes & their own, are called, STUPID!

      Right! We know this principle and try and teach it to our youth and somehow it gets lost and the error is repeated over and over again? It is surprising what desperation can do to the general public when the economy (their own personal economy) goes sour. That is what happened in Germany after WWI hence they settled for a new leader filled with "promises" of how he could bring about "great changes" in the Country. These old Nazi relics can remind us of what some "changes" turn out to look like. Not good in the end!

      You have reason blunderbuss, "History" are lessons to not repeat the same mistakes and to dont forget too.
      Nazi=millions of tears.
      I hope you can understand me too, thanks for your words, are very apreciatted for me.
