SS-jacket for review....

[zozole]

For me based on the pictures looks like a ss tunic,

I would be very interested to see the cut of the lining when the jacket is flat on the ground,

Below is a picture of a M40 lining from a SS contractor based in München.

SS Cut tunic and I like how insignia has been sewn on.
can't be sure of course but IMO it has chances to be untouched

[Daniel.S]

No problem

Thank you.

As i said before, very nice SS m40 tunic.

I have no idea why some here thinks its a heer tunic??

Its probably a walking out survivor...

I agree, this is NOT a re-badged Heer tunic. Typical unique characteristics as manufactured only for the Waffen-SS: 2-step lining, correct manufacturer, size and shape of pockets, ...only thing that it appears to have the bandage pocket button opening vertical in stead of "correct" horizontal?

Thanks for sharing more pictures,

Clearly a "ss cut" as accepted by the community.

I would really like to know why some comment that this is a heer ?

Please enlighten me , maybe I missed something.

No well visible liner and early cut with 3 holes and 5 buttons can deceive. Now when the liner is shown it is easy to confirm it is wss jacket.

I have observed that at least generally if not always, the bandage pocket button hole remained being sewn in the vertical position until the M42 unpleated pocket tunics were introduced. There may well be examples of the change before the M42 but if so it was late 41 or early 42

Looks like a nice SS-M41 IMO. Collar redone later, but looks period.

Looks like a nice SS-M41 IMO..

Any particular reason why you think its a m41?

Hello,
It is not a jacket 41, it is a jacket model 36 of the heer delivered without badge to the waffen ss. The ss clothing office sewed ss badges. This is the reason why, there is no trace of heer badge on a jacket distributed to the ss.
The ss had no feldgrau troop outfits of its own at the start of the war. It was heer who distributed uniformology to ss. We see it through the jackets, pants and especially the insignia of the caps which are often eagles of the heer at the start of the war.
The regulatory jacket of the waffen ss appeared in 1942 and it was different from that of the heer. No duck green collar, two hook holes and the lining goes down to the bottom of the jacket. The wool used is no longer that of the beginning of the war.
So it makes sense to find jackets from the original heer sewn in waffen ss. Be careful not to confuse with the jackets of the open collar and low slanted pockets which are good for the police and concentration camp but did not equip the combat units.

I think he saw the M41 stamp on the lining and quoted that.

This is so wrong on so many levels.
