Hard to tell from my iPhone but the embroidery on the tabs doesn’t look as crisp. I couldn’t comment on the construction of the tunic.

SA Hochland, Bayerische Ostmark Brigadefuhrer ~ sleeve stripes such as here: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...sleeve+stripes

Cannot comment on the collar-patches, but the tunic looks okay and I see there is a RZM tag in the inner pocket.
It seems the tunic was made by the brothers Betzler from Munich, which fits with Hochland.

The long-service stripes were explained by me in the "Military Advisor"-magazine from autumn 1995.

not really seeing an issue with the tabs...

Sa tunic

Thank you for all of the comments. In hand the collars are a very beautiful set with gorgeous patina. I think my camera work needs to be improved. Does anyone know what rank they are. Thanks, Mark.

Mark, Brigadefuhrer as I mentioned.

Political Tunic

Thanks very much Rick for that. Sorry I missed that the first time through. A couple of reverse shots added as per a few requests. Thanks, Mark.

What is the width of the sleeve stripes? The tunic and insignia look okay to me. The only odd thing is that generally an SA Leader of this rank would have a tailored tunic rather than a standard enlisted model. In period photos one occasionally can see what looks like an enlisted tunic being worn by a leader, so it's not an impossibility, but it's not normally what one would expect. That said, if the sleeve stripes are correct, and the sewing of the insignia to the tunic is properly done, I would not have a problem believing the tunic is period assembled. If all is correctly done, it's impossible to determine 100% IMO.
