Free SS cufftitle with book purchase

Back in the 1960’s, I used to visit a German book store,chmidt Imports, in the German neighborhood in Chicago. They carried a lot of books on the war including a set of volumes on the Waffen SS. When first published, these books came with a genuine cuff title from the division to be used as a book mark. By the late 60’s, the original stock that the publisher had acquired were gone and they replaced them with reproduction titles. These books were marketed at the veterans of these units and I doubt they ever knew the titles were reproduction. A little known fact I thought the membership would enjoy hearing about.
