Nice!! What are the dates on the boxes? I've always wondered if there were changes to the materials over time or if the same materials were used from 1950s until 1970s.
Without knowing what Nicos cardboard boxes will unveil...: there is definitely a change in the backing cloth at the time when the first "Arbeitsanzug" - made from the HBT fabric - was replaced by the Moleskin clothing. So the old stropes etc have a backing cut out from HBT cloth while the younger ones are of the moleskin type ... In the same was you`ve got dark grey and light grey backing on insignia for the dress uniform ... so its allways good to have all types in stock for future restauration projects...
