Arek,
I understand your trepidation with the tunic, as what you say is true. There are very faint markings on the tunic where the insignia was, but can not get them to show in pictures, so I did not post them. The collar tabs were definitely not Heer but more ss style, and there is no sign of a breast eagle. I believe there to be an outline of an arm eagle, but hard to tell with almost unissued piece like this. I also thought of Standschutzen, but I compared to my stand. tunic (100% original, from Mike Beaver who got it from the family) and the tabs would not match...So my educated guess is W-SS, although it may remain an enigma to some...
