Panzer wrapper shoulder bias material ?

[djpool]

Rb number in a bit of unusual place.but I have encountered this before..and dont believe it to be "added" ex post facto..what would be the purpose?

Scott,

Thanks or sharing your story about your trip to Russian. I imagine they're very careful about not letting anything go these days.

Very nice wraps. Your E 44 wrap is identical to the one Mike D. posted.I wonder if his is RB'ed in the same location.

Here is another F44 dated wrapper of what appears a more commonly encountered lining but which also makes extensive use of other scrap wool in construction..and different scrap materials side by side the lining material in the sleeve closure.and in the armpit binding area. Material is also identical to entire lining of the HG wrap I posted.

Markings..I always wondered why many wrappers have six instead of the more typical four size stampings.could be the additional material in the rear to widden the chest area? Im not sure

Cuff closure and varied materials used. This example is also a Russia-braid example.

Today, I have found this interesting thread.
Here my contribution to the navy blue bias material on a 44 marked Stug. Pi. wrap I have in my collection.

Hello panzer pioneer, nice wrapper, Im looking for a black Panzer M43 too, seeing how my unissued officers one was stolen from my house by the movers/or alarm installers...I cant imagine what these fetch today, but Im pretty bummed about the loss of it, it was Heer,

hello,
"164" and "168" are late indications (cm) appeared in 1944, given for the tall of the wearer ;
beetween 1,64 and 1,68 meter hight, a small guy in this case.

Here is a picture of some bias material from one of my wraps, and then another from a high end repro.

Here is a graphic from a period publication showing standard tailor's bias.
