                  Red flags galore. At best put together.

                  For one, green wasnt used by SS Pzgren. Those are probably GJ boards.

                  Pretty sure tag is bad. Im not sure why youd go by battalion instead of kompanie...

                    Indeed Pz grenadier branch in the W-SS is white Infantry waffen farbe...unless the piping is supposed to be SS gebirgsjaeger green...
                    The SS-Gebirgsjäger Regiment 11 "Reinhard Heydrich", 6th SS Mountain Division "Nord" wore Totenkopf collar tabs.
                    These men who came from the SS-Totenkopf-Standarte 6 which was based in Prague, were sent to Norway for occupation duty
                    wearing their Deathshead collar patches and were absorbed in SS Gebirgs Div "Nord". The "Reinhard Heydrich" cuff title created
                    of course in honor of the slain officer and bestowed to this Regiment because of their ties with Prague.
                    None of this matches the owner tag info of course ...so its probably put together and the shoulder strap green farbe is too light for WSS-GJ...

                          That is period sewn, the rest postwar added IMO. Original Tabs though. Another messed with uniform tunic that will never be anything but that.

                            If it wasn't for the name tag everyone would be guessing when the tabs were sewn. Although probably postwar sewn anyway. Slip on shoulder boards are always subjective to being replaced or not .....the question is usually are they good ones or not. The bigger question should be......Is it a good SS tunic ? If for sure then why not just remove tag if it's a fake. Most SS tunics are restored to some degree , but a factory sewn eagle on a real tunic is not that unappealing .

                              No. RH did not wear TK tabs. Early KG Nord elements (SS GJR 6 and 7) did, but that stopped around 42. When it was known as RH, I have yet to see any TK tabs; maybe 1 in hundreds of photos.

                              But regardless, this piece is still bad
