I have had this item for some time and would like to get more opinions on it.

Hello,
To start the Stug. wrapper of the TK division never had the NCO silver tresse around the neck, the Only division SS that used the tresse around the neck was the LAH, exist numerous pictures the War time that show LAH NCO with the silver tresse.....Beaver and Mollo books for exemple.
About the wrapper need more detailed pictures..
The Skull tab seams OK..

The collar tabs are original. However, they appear to be machine sewn but I cannot see the stitching on the reverse of the collar of the rank side? Where did the stitching go?

Different view of the stitching...

............the sleeve eagle seams a tropical pattern, very strange and inusual on a wrapper.
the wool seams a wool used to manufacture M36 tunics and overcoats, the Stugwrappers that I own, saw and examinated in other collections also if the early construction were at least in M40 wool, more easy in M42/43...
IMO this wrapper is a repro..

I would agree with you.

I don't trust this wrapper. And the condition of the insignias is not reflecting a little bid to the missing patina of the wrap.
