    Were there SS cut HBT Panzer wraps?

    Is there any evidence anywhere of SS cut HBT Panzer wraps? I'm obviously aware of the SS cut being seen on other wraps, but I have yet to find (after a lot of searching) an SS cut HBT wrap.

    Did these exist or were they all the same (Heer) cut used by both branches?

    I'm referring specifically to the reed green type, not any of the camouflage versions.

    Thanks for the help.

    Hbt

    If you include polka dot camo HBT then they do come in SS style.

      Sorry, I should have clarified I'm asking particularly about the reed green HBT wraps.

        Yes, it existed - one example is known (shown in the Beaver books), also period fotos exist

              Rare items! Can you post photos? I for one would greatly appreciate seeing examples, can only remember seeing one before some decades ago.

                There are a few examples out there. I traded my well worn and repaired SS HBT wrap to Mike Beaver a few years before he passed away. The example he used in the book came from the Patton museum. I also believe a collector from Italy sold a nice example here on the WAF a while back. WR Jim

                          Many thanks for posting, looks quite crisp

                          Are there any markings?

                              No visible markings .
                              I think there was only the paper tag with the sizes ...
                              No markings also in the trousers !
