Were there SS cut HBT Panzer wraps?

[Matthew2388]

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.

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.

[Gran Sasso]

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

those last 40 years .

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

Thanks Jim but it would be a treat to see GAMS1 mint set

Reed green wrappers

Some pictures of my mint HBT jacket as promised .
I know another one but not mint .
The trousers i have is not made in HBT cloth but in a ripped cotton like a late tropical
cotton in about the same dark green colour .
They came together years ago ...

Many thanks for posting, looks quite crisp

Are there any markings?

[LOTHRINGEN]

Looks perfect !

I am also curious to know if there are any markings 😏

[GAMS1]

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