There are more of these surviving examples than I had first believed. Thank you for the photos FB.

Thanks, but there are not so many as grains of sand on the beach, to be sure.
I am at pains to show nice things that pass by on the clouds.

As for the scarcity of Stammabteilung-related material, Bastian Hein's 2012 study "Elite für Volk und Führer? Die Allgemeine SS und ihre Mitglieder 1925 - 1945" has an interestig statistic:
Between 1936 and 1938, the number of men who belonged to the Stammabteilungen was something between ca. 3,700 and 6,700. This is quite a small number considering the overall size of the SS organization.
(During the same period, the combined total numbers of the reserves and supplementary reserves - i.e. the Reserve and the Stammabteilungen - ranged between 11 and 13 % of the A-SS' strength.)

Given these numbers, I am amazed any examples remain today. As FB said, you are a genius, Andreas. Thank you for the citation.
Would I be correct in the assumption that the majority of the membership of the Stammabteilung held the ranks of the enlisted man?
