Here's another great image of Handschar officers wearing such blank collar tabs
as shown on my impression.
This prior to Sep/Oct 1943 when the Scimitar tab got introduced. (photo credit Alamy stock)
Officers btw wore the enlisted variant of the Scimitar tab with added silver edge piping.

I guess that is a possibility (explanation) for it having cuff buttons and an 8 button front!
The brown facing simply got removed and the collar refaced with a green collar.
So his uniform is in polizei green wool. I agree now!Last edited by NickG; 05-31-2018, 05:28 PM.

More...His altered uniform Agreed that it is certainly not a high button count Weimar era style tunic, as it has exterior skirt pockets!
so it is in fact a converted Polizei one...The cuffs don't look like open French cuffs either...Very interesting!
Note cuff buttons (Polizei style) shown in both pictures...(a polizei trait but perhaps also an Estonian officer trait?)Last edited by NickG; 05-31-2018, 05:52 PM.
