                    Good one of Karl Wolff--those two rows are pretty far apart. Thanks for posting that Oldrusty26, I stand corrected!

                      No it isn’t, but I bet he owned more than one.????

                          Surely one set of loops is for the ribbon bar (lower) and the upper is for the medal bar? Otherwise medals would hang too low!

                            I will be honest, when I first saw the pics of the shoulder boards being reversed and the amount of wear, my first thought was "artificial aging". I would be happy to be wrong about it, and I may be in the minority, but I still have concerns about the overall set up - unequal aging and condition of the insignia, etc.

                              You think someone would destroy real SS General insignias to fake a uniform ? You could put them on a mint tunic ala Kai Winkler’s Witt grouping and still fool most collectors. This type of material would show a breast eagle shadow very easily if had bee a Heer tunic. The eagle even looks a bit swollen from dampness.

                                As I said and many even don´t know, find a loose original HA cuffband like shown on the coat or in the tunic. Impossible to find in any condition.
                                And not a single one came on the puplic market for decades!
