Hi,
I just aquired this brown sa hanger (came with an early SA grounded rohm early eickhorn oval TM).
While cleaning the leather I noticed some markings.
it looks like to they are hand or home-made.
And they are hard to notice.
I think it reads:
111 / 9 SS
or 117 / 9 SS
or something similar.
Could this be a SS group ?
any idea's would be helpfull.
I will post a few pics but it is very hard to make a clear picture of the "carvings" ?

I hope the pics are clear enough

both SS carvings look very much alike.
But the rest of the carvings aren't that great, so imo a homemade marking

maybe i should try to highlight the marking by adding some white stuff in the carvings.
any suggestions?

Get a plain white sheet of paper and a pencil and trace over the top, make sure the paper does not move!.

trick with paper and pencil did not work.
I added some white wash but there are to many cracks in the leather to give a good result.
here are some extra pics.

if you turn if upside down then i would guess:

or SS 6 / 01
or SS 6101

could that make any sence??
