Question about restoring an SS tunic

[OU812]

Hi

I'm thinking about restoring an SS tunic. Would you please help me with an answer to this question?

Would is be OK to combine the following ?

- A Prinz Eugen cuff title
- Gebirgsjäger shoulder boards
- SS collar tab with runes


Thanks a lot for your help

Didn't the Prinz Eugen Division use the Odal rune?

They did as the standard.

But the question is if they used the runes as well ?

This combination is fine, IMO.

Thanks.

I guess a Gebirgsjäger Edelweiss should be sewed onto the right sleeve as well, then ?

Do you have a stripped SS tunic?

Uniform

It looks like he's wearing a tank destroying patch on his right arm.

Not necessarily . . . plenty of photos exist showing this was not always the rule . . . and if I remember correctly, the PE was instituted before the SS GJ badge became available . . .

You also have to remember - members from other SS Divisions were transferred into the PE . . . so if you think about it, almost anything could have happened!

Some of the PE Reichsdeutschen officier cadre used runic tabs.
Edelweiss on the sleeve became regulation in october 1943 if I recall correctly, so, after that date it's a must.
