Schutzpolizei Wachtmeister tunic

[koenig.blix]

I found this Schutzpolizei tunic for sale and I'm curious as for your thoughts on it. It's an M36 Schutzpolizei tunic with the rank of Wachtmeister for the city of Oberhausen. The ribbon for the Iron Cross 2nd class is present and the remnants for the loops for the Iron Cross 1st class might also be present on the right breast pocket. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts as to its authenticity and it's value/rarity.

Regards

That is a nice 42' dated Schutpolizei tunic. I don't see anything wrong with it that would show red flags. NJ

Thank you for your quick response. Is 500 USD expensive for the tunic?

[THEPOLIZEIMAN]

No that is a really good price on the tunic. NJ

In my opinion tunic is original with re-sewn sleeve eagle (very common) which is also original. The tunic appears to be in good-excellent condition, with the exception of the holes punched in the pocket to attach badges, which was most probably collector done.. These are not particularly rare, but as stated the price is very fair.

The seller also have these trousers for sale, are they the correct type for the tunic?

[SCHUPO]

Yes, the breeches are correct for this tunic. They have a single back pocket and proper wartime construction. As others have said, the tunic looks perfectly original as well.
