check Militaria magazine nr 255 OF OCTOBER 2006 page 27, picture at the top left.
The stamp on the zeltbahn reads :
Instandgesetzt 1943
Fa. Paul Gerhus, Wansdorf-Sudetengau,
Kontrolle : IIISo yes, stamps did exist and both SS and Wehrmacht ( and LW and KM) had repair factories.
All cloth equipment/uniforms were repaired.
The Reitz factory had a special repair factory at Riga Latvia. Although they worked with forced labour there, they managed to restore/repair about 65 % of what was send to them.
And for all of you who might be interested on the zeltbahn subject, a new book is coming up next year that will bundle all known knowledge so far about the zeltbahn. And of course some so far unknown or undocumented features will be unveiled in it.
Patience !
Regards Petr.

Is this true, or do the reproductions also have this
nowadays?
Would be interested in knowing the truth!
There are reproduction patterns that have that but not quite like the originals. You will also notice that in dot patterns for instance, although these haven't been used in zelt production.
Cheers
