Nskk tunic for review

[yesthatsme]

Hey Guys,
I have an chance to purchase this tunic but I have a few concerns?
Sleeve eagle is a 1936 kepi emblem and I have not found an example of this same coat. Unit tabs are from progue and dont know if they are period sewn, these are the only pictures given
Any help will be much appreciated

hi
it looks like a motor school staff tunic.
I don't think the insignias are period sewn.
Cheers

I agree--also there is no shoulderboard, no collar piping, and I'd like to see a photo of the tunic showing the lower pockets. It may be an SA tunic or early NSKK with the diagonal pockets, but a larger photo of the interior and one of the reverse would be helpful.

This is an early SA tunic, ca. 1933-34, and has been retailored. You can see by the lining that this tunic originally had a Rock back (with 2 buttons and flap) that has had the outside of the tunic recut to a standard tunic pattern. The darts leading down to the pocket flaps appear to indicate that the tunic was to have the standard bellows type unpleated pockets, but still have the diagonal type pockets. The retailoring appears to be period, but it's missing most of its insignia so it's likely that it was stripped or only partially completed during the period.
