Francesco,
Very nice original SS wrap. They must be giving them away now since we have seen so many lately on the forum. Just kidding...I know they cost at leave $500.00 USD. I have seen that manufacturer several times in wraps and there is another numbered manufacturer #525 I think. I'm pretty sure they have all been SS wraps either black or field gray.
That is also a lining most common to black SS wraps, a woven cotton, almost like a linen. I don't believe I've seen that material in wraps from other branches, but I'm sure it's possible. Maybe some members have this lining in Heer, Luft., or Police wraps?
Here is a photo that reminded me of yours with the #5's on the boards obviously from Wiking too. It is from the book Soldat volume #6 by Mundt and Lee. Enjoy your wrap and thanks for sharing!

Dream of a piece, if I could find one of those, I'd be done collecting and hang it up! BNZ, you mentioned the 627 is associated with a KZ manufacturer, do you know which one, and where does this info come from? I have an SS Stug field grey wrapper that is marked exactly as these two black ones are, and same font. I"ve seen some with very very large three digit codes, and always wondered about the authenticity of those, I just have not held any of them in hand, these things pop up rarely, and one seldom gets to handle them. I"d like to own one of these black beautys one day, however, finding one is much easier said than done, and it seems those that have them are tucking them away for good reason.Last edited by Scott A.

P.S. it is a harsh, very low-quality wool (I think late-war), made of all kind of staff and different materials mixed in it.
BTW I always thought that the fact that SS forced unimaginably-suffered-kz-inmates to make uniforms and insignia for them was just really.. I do not even know how to call it .. ..most disgusting and cruel and most primitive. They looked sharp but their dids were "subhuman"Attached FilesLast edited by bnz. 42; 10-15-2010, 11:47 PM.

Germans had cool style, excellent design, advanced technology, beatiful precise and accurate order in everything, they tried to be perfect/ best - and that what I like and that is why I collect. PS. ..and of course blondies!
