Pants, RAD or SS

[DK Hunter]

Hey

As a part of large lot, so far consisting of 93% repro, there is this one, may I hear your opinion of this pair of RAD (due to the figure on the buttons) or SS (because they came as the pants of an black SS SD uniform)

PS. Yes I know that the pictures are bad, but that is what I got right now

Not RAD, but DAF.

Matching blouse also in the lot?

meaning

And what does the stamp "V A" stand for?

[kyles bullets]

The buttons look to be DAF as stated....

The VA stamp like this usually is for SS-Verwaltungsamt and is found in "early" SS Clothing. I know nothing about DAF clothing and if it would have stamps like this.

buttons

The buttons don't tell me much as I have seen black army wrappers with cogwheel DAF buttons. The stamps are much more telling to me. Anyone have a pic of an "early" SS item with this stamp?

[Johnny R]

Not clear but you can see it stamped in White. There are many other examples on the forum for these.

SS pants. Look under the rear pocket to see if there is or was an RZM tag sewn in.

RZM tag

The RZM mark is gone, but it is easy to see where it has been
