Danish Resistance Armband
Hi Gents,
Following on from the loss of a dear friend 18 months ago, his family has asked me to sell his small collection. To that end I will be asking for some assistance of prices etc. I will of course offer these items here on the forum first. This first item I would like resistance with is a Danish Resistance armband. It is called a "Frihedskaemperarmbind" and as I understand it specifically a 'type II' variant. My friend was fastidious in his research of such pieces but never kept any record on valuation etc. So any assistance with what a piece like this would be worth would be most helpful? Cheers, Roy

Hi Stephen,
Here you go. No markings that I know of. Will be able to provide more details when it's in my hand as the family is planning to mail me the collection soon but thought I would get a start. Cheerio, Roy

Thank you for that Mike,
I'm doing this to help the family out, so not making a penny but just want to do the right thing by my departed friend and his family. It's only a small collection but it will be good to find these pieces a good home and get some funds to the family. Cheerio, Roy
