I cannot comment on insignia itself but the cuff title is placed on a wrong spot. And the way the sleeve eagle sewn-on is not impressive either.

[NTZ]

I have to say the tunic itself is not doimg much for me. Can we see the inside lining? A 6 button in the old style on an SS officer is not too common.

[onkelharmel]

Mr. NTZ!
I understand, everything in your possession is original and expensive, all other stuff is "FAKE".
I don't like to go on like this. I am collecting since 40 years, my uncle was commander of
a SS-Panzerdivision, my groomsman a SS-Hauptscharführer and Knight Cross Holder, believe me, I know, how an uniform have to look like and I also know, a lot of them were against all regulations during wartime. The Obersturmführer insignias were never removed since the blouse was made. (You will get the picture of the interior and taylor/name tag). You say. a 6 button blouse old style is nearly impossible, I would like to recommend you to look into the book "Uniforms of the SS by Andrew Mollo, Vol 6, side 25, the man at right (Hubert Meyer)" is wearing a blouse like this. Further I have app. 12000 photos from WW II, they are proving my opinion
Sincerely yours
Heinz

Heinz,
How about posting some of your "12000" photos ?

[Rob E.]

I wouldn't want to own this.

I personally have no problem with a six button ss tunic. The cufftitle placement is a bit odd, but I think I have seen at least one period picture where the title was worn above the cuff. I am not an expert on cufftitles, so I will not comment on that one. I would like to see a shot of the eagle, where one can see the tips of the feathers before making a call on it. Overall, I don't think we have enough pics here to say either way on this tunic.

Are there traces of previous application on edges of the sleave eagle?

[Ian Hulley]

The eagle is at best poorly re-applied, the cufftitle probably the same, I'd like to see clear shots of the tabs and straps, because being completely honest I find this tunic almost as implausible as you being Harmel's Nephew and think it (and your story) is a put-together.

Cheers, Ian.

[onkelharmel]

Dear Ian, believe me, you will never own it, this is not a kind of discussion I like.
