SS Shirt
SS brownshirts are exceedingly rare, so any example should be approached with extreme caution. This is not a reflection on the seller, but it is not a shirt I would buy. The collar piping looks original, and the shoulderboard is original, but IMO, there's a good chance the shoulderboard (and maybe the shirt) is actually SA. I would expect to see an SS cuff title, and also a Driver Qualification sleeve badge, worn by almost all Motor personnel. Unit collar tab doesn't appear to match the wear exhibited in the shirt.

Just a thought, if the piece should be approached with extreme caution, why should it not in some way be a reflection on the seller? I would approach many things on this site with extreme caution. Good items are to be found there for sure, but IMO the number of highly questionable ones and out right repros cannot be overlooked, and throws suspicion to me on anything offered. I give sellers the benefit of the doubt on extremely rare items, the item may just not be within their knowledge base, but when I see quite common items that are bad, it should and does reflect on ANY seller be they a straight collector or dealer.
