SS marked items. Contract in SS-VT
Seems like only SS -VT period items are properly marked by SS, some of the hat eagles have markings after 1940 year as 475/42, but all other items discontinued SS VA and SS RZM markings after 1940. What is the main reason, why the markings disappeared after SS-VT reformed to the Waffen SS?
Also interesting that non Germanic volunteers collar tabs has never a SS paper tag on them. Did anyone have a proper order of this?

I think that marking was a lot of money, so they stopped. I have one SS helmet with RZM SS in the steel, but this helmet was sold after to Luftschutz. And painted in blue.

I agree with Lebus, I think it was a cost saving exercise. The HJ did the same for that reason

I've started this thread, due a lot of peoples looking for answer to this question, and they want to hear opinions from the real historians and they want to see some documented orders.
