Hi, I would like to get some opinions on this greatcoat (mantel coat?). It's made of heavy olive green wool with a dark chocolate brown collar. (It was hard to get the color right in my photos.). I want to know if this is an SA coat or perhaps an NSKK? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
It has a single brown braid shoulder board with golden yellow piping. I can see evidence that the collar tabs have been removed. Also, there are tiny black threads tacked in two spots (on inside and outside) of left sleeve, so I was wondering if that might be evidence that there once was an armband on that sleeve?
The silver pebbled buttons are marked on back with the Assmann "A" logo and say Extra Fein RZM M5/8. Some are silver on back and others are more of a grayish color, but they all are marked the same way. I can't find an RZM tag in the coat, however.
Inside bottom of coat has 3 white stamps:
N.S.D.A.P. SA Manteltuch, a mark that says "EULAN" and another mark (I think this is the maker's mark). It has an eagle and is hard to read, but looks something like "MeSan" or "MeSon"? (see photos).
The liner is a satin-type material. Overall the coat is in very nice condition.
Any information you can give will be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
