I got this in Belgium at least eleven years ago,from a german seller. Although the coat itself is in pristine condition and no moth, the collar had been carefully removed for what ever reason.The story that came with it was the previous owner had this as an officer cadet and rose to the rank of Major of pioneers(which I cannot prove).Well for the price at the time 1100 belgien francs about £17 at the time,I thought it was worth saving,this can only be regarded as a rebuild,I had new collar placed on it and I had a spare set of majors of pioneer shoulder boards to complete it.John

Hi Johnny R,thank you for the information about the officers.Yes the thread on all the buttons matches,so was done at the time.I did not notice the SS markings straight away,it was only when I got back to my friends stall that I picked them out,at the time I was told the buttons were worth more than the coat,but I would not separate them.John
