I'm sorry, but these are probably not original. Fat piping, wrong background wool, too square (not enough angle) on the tab body, non-SS pips, bad rank tress - not good. The work doesn't look terrible on the runes, though I can't see if there's underlay, but it's not much consolation - just too much going against them. They are also recently attached to an army-stye wrapper, based on the photos.

I would pass on this set-up.

...and those stamps doom the tunic, I'm afraid.

Yep....

Sorry...a complete waste of time, ink, thread, and anything else that went into this wrap unless it is cheap and for reenactors.

And those ridiculous rubberstamps are there to cover up ( Swedish ? ) markings ..

[mrLawson]

Yes, Winkelman, underneith the stamp, there should bee a swedish royal crown. If you PM me an e-mail adress, i will provide you with pictures of what it look like, and you can post them. I myself can not post photo material.

Cheers.

Chris is right on the money...fake stamps to cover Swedish markings...
(3 crowns) so a common Swedish uniform which got the SS treatment!
Should not fool anybody!

[mrLawson]

Perhaps a bit OT, but there are two types of markings on these, one royal crown and three royal crowns in triangel. Three crowns was adopted by the swedish army (also namned small national coat of arms)- 1942.
But there are actually tunics without the marking, just the size, and these tunics was issued 1939 to the volontery winter war corps. But these tunics are very very rare. Most likely this is a ordinary swedish M/ 39 tunic. Alot of these were sold to the making of the movie Stalingrad.

Cheers.

You are right earlier tunics had only one crown...I also have a 1939 dated Swedish tuic (officers) with a single crown...
Never noticed that difference before!
Learned something new from this fake (horrible) tunic thread!

Bad collar tabs IMO.
