Early Allgemeine SS collar piping, where to find it?

[TMurray]

I have a ASS black, enlisted man's service tunic, I have some early collar tabs but not the black & silver twisted piping for the collar. If anyone knows a supplier, original or manufactured to original specs, please let me know.
Cheers

I have found two places that sell this type of piping.

http://www.rzmsupplyco.com/products.htm and http://www.epicmilitaria.com/product...59534d8e43c660

I have been looking for the later style of aluminum piping, but I haven't been able to find that yet, because that's what the tunic I have needs.

Anyway, hope that helps.

100% authentic, original piping is something of a scarce commodity unless you have a stock of it available??

Just some feedback on these suppliers
- RZM, the piping cord is 3mm not the correct 2mm width
- Epic Militaria, the piping is 2mm, black & silver twisted, looks great but is incorrect as it is double silver, single black cord not double silver, double black as per original collar piping.

It really depends on the exact era of the tunic- in the early years, there were all kinds of variations in width, number of strands, etc...
