Authenticity

[edit]

Is this armband an authentic WW2 item? I have my doubts. The font used looks like en:Helvetica from 1957. There are many fakes of the WWII memorabilia. --Jvs (talk) 15:47, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It could be Akzidenz-Grotesk.Sumanuil (talk) 22:05, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so - compare capital R. Also, crafting this item would require embroidery machine - a complex and expensive technology, rather improbable to be used for purposes of concentration camp. --Jvs (talk) 12:39, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. It should probably be labelled as a fake, then.Sumanuil (talk) 04:03, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
