Re: SS Cufftitles
Old news to some, maybe new for others
Originally a small black and white label was affixed to Allgemeine SS cuffbands, by the later 1930's a paper label was attached which was printed in black ink on white. It was not uncommon for one label to be woven and the other a paper version. By 1939 the silk woven label was discontinued in favour of the paper label, probably due to cost.
Having a label attached has no bearing on the originality on the said cuffband infact by 1942/43 many bands would NOT have a control label on them, as the Waffen SS became de-controlled by the RZM at that time
Information for the paper label would go something like this
Letter B for instance would be the complexity of the work involved
a written "22" (after the printed letter and number smaller i.e. A4) would be the code number given to a manufacturer
Small "D" Sequence letter
followed by Number ******** would be the sequence number of the manufactured cuffband

Re: SS Cufftitles
Mr Kimmel does not seem to have thought much of our offerings, but here are some images from the Shea site with relevant aspects for anyone new to this material.
In this first instance, here are the two different RZM tags, with the respective code letters for the Betriebskosten. A4 was the section for these insignia; the code number of the manufacturer follows, as well as a serial number for the piece of insignia itself.
Secondly, here is a clear image of the fine quality of embroidery typical of these objects, made by Kunststickerei firms, i.e. Fahnen Fleck in Hamburg among many.
This is from a Bohemian or Generalgouvernement Sanitaetsabteilung der Allgemeinen SS.

On the contrary, it has greatly added much to my knowledge of cufftitles as I had little before. I truly appreciate all of the reactions and opinions as this is what true collecting is all about. Thank you.
Let the learning continue!
