      Hi Blau,
      Reference Janke , all my research pics are on my 2 , almost dead,laptops . We are fortunate that Nick had retained the original pics i sent to him .I do intend to transfer all my pics from those laptops but due to cost ,fixing the laptops isnt a priority at present.To be honest , period pics are my main starting point for any research task. I do have more that arent as definitive as the ones posted here but do add weight.

      .Ill be more than happy to forward all i have, to u when that task is done.
      Plenty of threads with Jankes in them on here. .Just use the search engine.

      There was an excellent thread on here with Janke cuffsplits and comparisons but all the pics were deleted .Plenty of accompanying text left but no pics.

      Most i have seen, were at least a 3rd wider than an original german cuff split and appear very chunky.
      They may of improved and made them slimmer but many around are obvious.

      Regards KK

          Pictures from that thread..some thinking the cut of was a Janke repro tunic piece because of the "problematic" rectangular shape...
          the stitching lacked the taper that most people are more comfortable with...(back in 2010)

          Perhaps this shape was also often more prevalent with SS made garments as the stitching was easier and faster to accomplish...(using forced labor pool...SS Industrie)

            These proofs are definitely changing my mind and my square cuffs concerns...

                This is an interesting thread.

                The last 2 sleeves shown here by NickG were said in that older thread to be fakes (but the Prinz Eugen cuff title was real).

                Just to be sure I understand: Is it being said now that those sleeves are real?

                  Another collector feirnd reminded me that it is not unusual for simplified late war SS wraps not to have open cuffs.

                    Vet bring backs from NZ soldiers and real is my understanding. ...but shot done because of cuff concerns...
                    which this thread is rectifying..
                    In other words non tapered is NOT an automatic red flag.

                      Simplified production in order to meet production volume needs...and unskilled (forced)
                      labor use no doubt. Like Texled industrie Gmbh Camp Ravensbruck..Betr.Ra...

                        no
                        Give a man an opinion and you feed him for a day,
                        teach a man to use the "search" function on the WAF and you feed him for a lifetime.

                            Here is an illuminating period picture of some German uniform cuffs.
