Arran, I believe you are right but I'm trying to confirm it with the rest of the collecting world. I've seen them marked with "7" more often then not. but nobody knows who is maker with the number "7"

Granted the evidence in official publications as to variations and deviations of one sort of another as concerns the making of reglia in the epoch, such differences are hardly astonishing.
Mr. Arran is a skilled student of this regalia.
No one has deciphered the VA SS contract system, save for cap insignia where the normal RZM code is also present.

I have never personally encountered this variant. That is not to say that I disagee with Aaran. If period original, they are likely early variants that do not conform to RZM control specifications.

One might profitably compare a range of NSDAP and such armbands for variations as a means of comparison, i.e. to broaden the base of relevant data.
Bob Coleman has great experience in a variety of such regalia.
In any case, I have never really owned such a variation, but few pieces of this material are really identical in the big box, McDonald's hamburger conception of consumer goods that reigns in this unhappy year 2012.
Many collectors see SS regalia as a cosmos for itself, which it was not.
I spend a fair amount of time in the study of early NSDAP caps, which set the pattern and line for SS caps in certain ways.
Context is everything in the struggle with the evidence of the past.
