Does anyone know when this plastic material was introduced? It replaced the leather parts but I don't know the year.
 
Schlaufen für HJ-Fahrtenmesser aus Werkstoff "Supronband UG"

The note about this appeared in the Mitteilungsblatt der RZM, nr. 17
from December 6, 1941, page 94. The width for the leather, known as Tragevorrichtung,
should be 18 mm, as the leather strap with button (Knopfriemen) be 16 mm. The button
was a smooth black one (Federdruckknopf).

Supronband UG was delivered from the concern Kalle & Co A.G. from Wiesbaden-Biebrich.

with the date November 19, 1938 it was allowed to use grips for the knives from zinc
(Zinkspritzguss), known as Marke Zamak 2 (Mbl.der RZM nr. 24 from November 19, 1938).

with the date February 20, 1943 it was not allowed to manufacturer the HJ daggers
(smultaneously with the daggers for SA and NSKK). Mbl.der RZM nr. 2 from February 20, 1943.
The subject was NOT ever returned.
