    NSKK or SS Breeches?

    Right back when I started collecting, at about the age of 12 (only 8 years ago mind), I bought a full black repro/modified police tunic etc. SS uniform from a stall with a load of other rubbish. Anyway with the uniform were these breeches, always believed them to be original SS. Then I was told they were in fact NSKK, now i'm wondering about their originality in general.
    Opinions please.

    The rubber stamp mark is fake added.

    Black breeches can be SS NSKK, NSBO, or HJ.

      The difference would be in the white RZM-label inside . These breeches were plentiful here some 20 years ago , and all had NSKK- / DAF- , etc. labels which would then be removed to sell them as SS . They were all good period items , just not " sellable " enough with their original tags . </p> If I remember correctly , the DAF ones came with black cogwheel buttons . </p> That rubber stamp is a fantasy , based on a paper RZM tag ..?!

        I'm also sure the stamps are fake too, but lift up the pockets from the INSIDE of the pants. Sometimes there's an RZM tag sewn to the pockets on the inside.

          According to Mike Beaver's book, the most direct identifying feature are the flapped pockets ( for NSKK) and not flapped for SS.
          Personally I don't like the stamps and lining.
