SS officer tunic – request additional opinions please.

[William M]

Found this yesterday, out of the woodwork; should be correct but would like to hear other opinions.

Sure would like to see better pictures if possible. Particularly the insignia and any inside detail. All in all from this distance I'm very skeptical.

[William M]

Sorry I lost my connection.

Sorry for the poor photography; the eagle was photographed on an angle causing it to appear shorter on one side.

Tunic, Eagle and tab looks good but it's impossible to say if is a put together.

[Jon. H]

Can i ask if the price tag is high?

[William M]

Thank you for your responses.

I personally know the present owner of the tunic and there was no price mentioned, at this time; I wanted to be sure of its authenticity before I discussed anything regarding its value.

I am “OK” with the tunic and the shoulder boards; but I felt I needed additional opinions regarding the eagle and collar tabs. The mothing on the underside of the collar, which actually extends through the felt backing of the collar and into the backing material of the tab, would be an indication that the tabs had been on the tunic for a considerable amount of time. The mothing is real, not spuriously applied and is consistent with other mothing on the tunic itself.

Need to see more detailed pictures of the tunic itself.

[William M]

Johnny R,

Unfortunately, I don’t have the tunic under my control and these are the only photos that I have at the moment.

Regards,
Bill
