Is this NSDAP Uniform Original?

[sauron249]

I meant to put this in the political thread, so I moved it myself. Is this original, and if so how much is it worth? Thank you!

The breeches look like they're reproductions. The fabric, construction, and shape of the flare look fake to me.
The tunic may be original but used postwar as a costume for German television. I can't tell with these photos--there are a few small details I question.

Didn't late war uniforms use pebbled buttons with no eagles though?

If real, wouldn't the buttons, including the belt ramp buttons, be RZM proofed? A lot of the repro uniforms are using 'Extra Fein' buttons and unmarked belt ramps.

I have come to the conclusion that the uniform is one of two things. The first thing being that it is original, but it has been heavily changed throughout the years. It was also used by the East German Broadcasting System at some point. It might be original because the way the wool is and many reproductions don't go into even this much detail, but some do. I also agree that if it is real it would be a late war style NSDAP uniform. The other thing being a complete and utter fake, being made by most likely the East Germans to be used specifically for their Broadcasting system. I will never know 100%, but I am going with the fake one just because it is more believable.

The RZM usage got more relaxed in later war periods because the Germans had more important things to deal with other than making sure their NSDAP uniforms were 100% withing guidelines set by the party, I am not saying they disbanded the use of the RZM in later war periods because they didn't, but they had relaxed on the usage of it in the later war years. Plus in later war periods the RZM tags were often paper, not sewn into the uniform. The buttons may have been made where the Germans were trying to save time and money so they didn't stamp the buttons. I still think the uniform is most likely fake, but I wil never be 100% sure.

Pol. Ldr.

If there was an RZM tag in the breeches, it would be behind the inside of the rear pocket. I believe the tunic tags were inside the inside pockets.
