White SS tunic

[wessel]

After a bout of paranoia I've been looking again at some of my better stuff and would welcome any input on this tunic.
It is made of a ribbed cotton and the insignia is very similar to that shown in Michael Beavers book, Vol 2 pp.568-569.
The buttons are D-ring attached, and some rust has come off on the material.
I bought it about 3 years ago from a German dealer

Please post close up photos of the insignias, both fronts and reverse.

It Is My Understanding That The White Tunic Was An Optional Uniform Purchase. The Few I Have Encountered Were All Private Purchase With Tailor Labels. The V A Stamp Makes Meuneasy. If An Issue Tunic, I Would Also Expect A R Z M Tag. I Also Agree That Close Up Photos Of The Insignia Are A Must.

Thank you for your input...closer images attached.
The canvas backing of the tabs is sticky if touched with a wet finger.

This type arm eagle has appeared countless times on forums in threads by me and others it is a FAKE the runes look bad as well. The shoulderboards look good with cord piping.
