By the looks this specific medic armband has reproduction written all over this....but was there such an armband in use?

Starting to take interest in the world of the Sanitäter, and came across this rather cool looking armband in my searchings. So was just curios if they even used such elaborate crosses. Looks pretty gnarly though! :D

What do you guys think?

I have not seen this markings on any SS soldier in period photos. If it is expensive, I 'd avoid it. If it is cheap, it is really fake.

It's absolutely a fantasy item.

Much thanks Patrick, you as well Chris. Did a bit more poking about and came across this thread:

Think they cleared it up pretty nicely :)
