I'm still in the shock state with this set. Never in my life would I have thought I would pull a set like this from the woodwork. I picked the set up from the grandson of the Veteran who brought it back. I'm still trying to get the veterans unit details. I got the call from the kid, funny enough, on the 20th of April. He got my number from a pawn shop dealer I network with. Once he described it over the phone I was in my truck and on the road immediately thinking "it's too good to be true. But I gotta go anyway". Glad I did. The grandson has no attachment to the set and said he just wanted to sell it to pay off a small school bill. When I asked him about his grandfather he said he had just passed the week prior. I find it kinda sad that the younger generations seem to care less about their families history and can't offload this stuff quick enough.
No eagle was on the cap when I got it. The armband was also removed but luckily placed in the pocket of the tunic. I did find a customs cap eagle in the pocket of the tunic as well. Maybe this was on it, but maybe it was just a replacement the vet picked up to put on later. I have no clue. Inside of the tunic has no tags. I think if it did they may have been removed. The cap is named to a Dr. Which I still haven't figured out the exact name. Cufftitle is blue bordered and the unit is out of Weisbaden. I'm not throughly versed in SS so if I'm missing anything or additional pictures are need just ask. I'm trying to find out who this guy was and possibly if he went on to other things during the war.
