Hello.

It would be nice to see a close of the area above the right top pocket.

It appears to have had something going on there.

Is it just the pictures or the color seems more olive-brown (RAD) than fieldgrey ?

Was the collar replaced ? apparently not the same fabric and color ?

[jürgen]

typically rad tunic!

look at the internal straps for fastening!
and surelay the RAD depot marking :-)

i also asked for pics of the collar.

[Kurt Meyer]

Great guess.. the discription says it's a RAD jacket.

[jürgen]

the collar is the final thing

if its period redone its pretty fine... :-)

I repeat This is RAD jacket for sale ,in almost mint condition in good large size.
Appear on it only contains SS traces of insignia .
IMO this is a good price for nice ,big jacket.

RAD tunics always had dark brown collars unless the facing has been replaced with tunic matching material. Could be the case!
RAD tunics usually also always show RAD property stamps...Ghost of RAD arm shield maybe? It did have a rank winkel (chevron) at one time.

Otherwise I am leaning more towards another paramilitary organization like
OT or NSKK or Transport Corps Speer however NSKK - Speer also had brown collars.... So OT perhaps?
This organization used tunic matching collar material... but not square nor rectangular collar tabs...
So on the other hand the collar tab ghosts would make me lean more towards Speer...
but the ghosts could have come from a collector (prior) restoration... Same comment for the SS sleeve eagle ghost,
perhaps also be a collector restoration mistake! Ghosts don't necessarily explain what it once was...

That is may be the NPEA student's tunic, redone from RAD.
