Are Totenkopf armbands a real item or purely a fantasy piece?
A friend got me the armband a while back. It was listed as a "Rare armband,even as a reproduction" Black armband with Totenkopf emblem machine embroidered. My guess is if its a real item that exsisted,that it was for rallies? If anyone has info on this or better yet a photo of anyone wearing this item id appreciate the feedback.

Not featured in any of the books I have,pure fantasy the only armband worn on the black uniform or tradition shirt is the 'kampfbinde' .
If you meant a cuff title,there was one worn by the SS-Totenkopfstandarte 1 "Oberbayern" from september 1938 until 1940/41 when the unit was disbanded.John
