    SS Greatcoat Insignia?

    Other than the shoulderstraps, sleeve eagle and and rank insignia what other insignia is correct for SS greatcoats? Were collar tabs, cuff titles also applied? Thank you in advance

    cufftitles were used on allgemeine ss and waffen ss on wool coats but not always,almost never on officer leather coats though..insignia is too hard to sew on leather but there are a few exceptions.Collar tabs also were used on ss mantels/coats, as well as some foreign volunteer shields which could also be seen on greatcoats.
