SS mantel for review

[MG-Freak]

Hi Guys,

Got this SS mantel just in. It's in worn but good condition. Obvious a couple of buttons are replaced with black thread. It has a few moth holes. It's stamped on the inside pocket, but it also has a number on the left shoulder. Is that common or could it be a movie used mantel? There was an eagle and a shield on the left arm (glued on), but removed.
Before it goes on the e-stand I wanna know what you guys think?

Thnx in advance

Personally I'd be very careful, those insignia ghosts look VERY obvious plus the volunteer shield ... The shoulder strap loops have been added afterwards as well.

Perhaps a close up of the traces after eagle and shield?

Hello,

The posted mantle is a Heer issued coat, not a SS contracted coat. I would be very careful about how you advertise that one.


Pictured is my SS contracted watch coat for comparison.

It looks like it was someone's wannabe Latvian SS Mantel.
