    High ranking political tunic for review

    Hello everyone,

    I have never seen such a high ranking political type tunic before and I was just wondering if you can tell if the thing is authentic and without resewn insignia? Thank you much for looking and any help!

                  Gorgeous tunic, well made. Love the shadows on the award loops, shows that it was well worn.

                  Thank you,
                  Mike

                    Are the top award loops on the pocket for a GPB ?

                      Jeff:

                      This must be a real early 1933-34 tunic. I notice that it has non-regulation gold collar piping that is found on those early tunics. Your thoughts on this would be great.

                      Thanks.

                        This is certainly a beautiful and rare tunic and I too would like to know whose it was. If the initials sewn onto the inside pocket are "JG" then it could only have been made for either Joseph Goebbels or Josef Grohé -- who were the only Gauleiters with those initials in 1933-34. But neither of them was a vet from WWI, so the EKII ribbon, the loops above the left pocket for a medal ribbon bar or the loops at the bottom of that pocket for the EKI would not be from either of them. Could those initials be "JS" -- then if so, Gauleiter Julius Streicher would fit the description indicated by all those awards. But that does not look like a Fraktur "S" to me...anyone have any other ideas?

                          The second is an "E", isn't it ?

                            Thanks for this, Andreas, and I agree that the initials in the tunic appear to be "JE" -- though there was no Gauleiter in service in 1933-34 who held those initials. So I was trying to equate the initials of people who were actually serving in that position with versions of what appears inside this tunic. I also note that you provide a chart of one of the common sets of typeface for English Gothic Blackletter, which is an 18th century adaptation of the German Fraktur typeface, and I was trying to see what difference there might be between the two letter styles.

                            The only Gauleiter bearing the initials "JE" would be Joachim Albrecht Eggeling, the Gauleiter of Halle-Merseburg...but Eggeling was not appointed to that position until April 20, 1937, when the former Gauleiter, Rudolf Jordan, was transferred to Gau Magdeburg-Anhalt to replace the recently-deceased Gauleiter Wilhelm Friedrich Loeper. Assuming that there were no noticeable changes made to the standard PL tunic style between that in use in 1933-34 and the major PL uniform code revision of 1939, this then must have been Eggeling's tunic.
