Looks like LAH to me

Forgive my lack of knowledge guys. Do you mean Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler? According to Wikipedia the official name of LAH only lasted from November 1933 to April 1934 when the name was changed to LSSAH. Thanks!

Yes, that's right. As tgn says, from the shape of the straps and other uniform details possibly early war. Nice picture!
