I think it represents just a bogus armband! Would not know for who this was intended!

Beautifully put, Wim! If you look at the pictures here RJF Picture, you see that even the highest leaders wore standard armbands. There was no leader version!
What is striking about the odd variant is that the white stripe is far too wide.

Wim, I was pretty sure it was a fantasy piece but do not have much experience with armbands.

$500 for a fantasy piece. I have seen many hj leaders and all wore the standard armband.

That is the problem with many dealers (and collectors), they love the stories coming
with an item. With a bit of good thinking you would know the story is bogus. But they
keep on believing. What can they do otherwise?

Not related to HJ, but nice to mention anyway:
a few weeks ago at a Dutch show there was a black cap with red pipings and with an
SS eagle and skull. The story with the cap: the cap had belonged to a person from the
Allgemeine SS, an artillery vet from WWI. The dealer was not interested in the truth
and just believed the bogus story.
In fact the cap was just a miners cap from Carl Henkel (the logo was inside). Henkel
is known for his miners caps (and fire-brigades). To make a dollar (euro) the insignia
was changed and making it an SS cap. Haha!
