    Your opinions, please.

    Yesterday I went with another Forum member to take a look at an SS tunic. I'm the one who had the camera, so I'm posting this thread for him - easier that way.

    The photos aren't too great - new camera I'm still learning how to use. While I do have some knowledge of uniforms, I don't collect SS, so my opinion of these insignia is worth exactly what the air you are now breathing is costing you. I wasn't able to take the uniform outside to get better pictures or do the prefered 'sunlight' exam - we are in Colorado, and it was overcast and raining (go figure).

    I have my own opinion on the tunic (and other photos), but I will keep them to myself for now. The first box that needs checked is, obviously, the originality of the insignia themselves. Here's the shoulder board:

      One of the collar tabs. (Hard to take a flash photo of shiny stuff.... ) Anyway, the photo doesn't show it too well, but the oakleaves in the center are made of the very bright silver metallic thread.

              If I know it correctly, Reichsfuhrer tab is suppose to have little brassy beads between the leaves. This one does not. Also the three leaves on the board are suppose to be brass/dark looking too.
