Waffen-SS Wachmantel for review

[tylermclaren]

These are from the 1944 period with gray blanket liner, internal hood etc...
Late war W-SS. I have one too. Great image btw!

The wool on this in particular, places this in the '44-'45 era for me. I've never seen wartime images of these prior to the Bulge, so it's very likely that these were a '44 model. I own a stone mint Italian wool SS-BW tunic with a boxed "t" substamp. Here is another SS-BW with a wool more similar to this mantel. I believe both type wools were used later in the Bekleidungswerke production.
