Unfortunately my grandmother is passed so any answer as to where this came from and how authentic it is have been lost with her. This is why I'm coming to you. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Based on the tag it is real.
Did your grandmother have a husband, brother, or father who fought in WW2? Nazi paraphernalia often shows up in estate sales because it was often brought home as trophies from the war. Common items include the SS daggers, armbands, flags, lapel pins, and other small items that could be easily concealed for a return trip to the United States. It was technically illegal to bring this stuff home, but based on the sheer amount of it that made it to the United States, there doesn't seem to have bene much enforcement of the rules. War trophies were common, but it was more intense in the pacific theater, where the taking of Japanese body parts was a common part feature, even making it onto the cover of life magazine in 1944.
This stuff always has "value" on a market but with items of a politically charged nature, I always ask that people think about what they are selling and who they might be selling it to.
Thank you all so much for the help! I've posted this to MilitariaCollecting and am waiting further elaboration there. Really thanks so much!
The folks at /r/Militariacollecting should be able to provide more information.
based on the stitching it appears real. Condition is really good, may be worth something if you want to get rid of it. I would.
