Need opinions on this SS Tunic...

[dzyner]

Hi all,

I received an email about this tunic and thought I'd post it for feedback. I mainly collect Heer and Luftwaffe tunics so SS is not my thing. I do want to note that I'm at least concerned about the poor positioning of the tabs relative to the NCO trim. Seems to me the corners of the tabs should neatly line up with the trim, but again...SS is not my area, which is why I'm looking to the experts for opinions.























Thanks!

Green piped shoulder boards with a Götz von Berlichingen cufftitle?

[dzyner]

Hi Ludwig. I assume by your reply you mean the shoulder board and cuff title combination do not go together? Again, I'm not well versed in SS cloth.

Agree with Ludwig. Boards and cuff title make no sense at all. Also, Gotz cuff title is a fake. See http://www.reddickmilitaria.com/mm5/...de=200-267-010

Original tunic, eagle, and tab. Maybe more.

Odds are against all or any of the insignia being original to the tunic, but it looks like a nice group of original components!

And, maybe some of the insignia IS original to the tunic - just too hard to tell from the photos.

Are you sure the CT is fake?
If yes, then I have been fooled badly.

I do not think you are fooled...

The cuff title is sitting pretty low on the sleeve, so may well have been added. Looks like an east German button on the shoulderboard, but maybe just my eyes.

Looks almost like a modified M42, with added pleats.

The GVB cufftitle looks like the original one in my collection.

My impression as well.

Hi guys. Thanks for the lively discussion on this!

Regarding the button, have a look at the other photos as well... The button you're referring to (on the tunics left-hand board) is just a ring of corrosion i think. Have a look a the button on the opposite board and you'll see some corrosion on that one as well. I would expect all of the buttons to be East German if one is.

Ill see if I can get better photos of the cuff title, incidents and shoulder eagle from the owner and post them here.

Charles, the cuff title at the link you provided is different from the one on this tunic. The white lines are a different thickness, and compare the letter "c" on each.
