Hello,
finaly I have some time to make better pictures on day light ! First I want to say thank you to all which help me with determination of material-Latvija wool ! I make this photos on many asks and like studing material because it seems, this piece is not so common so I belive it will helps to someone. Producer looks like Steinmayer.It seems there were never applied collar tabs and shield, it is usual or just any sewing left after them ? Afer eagle there is still place...Besides I received many asks about seling this item. I will think about it, but to be honest I have no compare about price, can someone help me with fair price ? Thanks all again

The wool is Belorussian, most of these tunics have been issued for Baltic volunteers. I have the same, marked Rb Nr. Also same cloth M 40 hats existedComment

Nice!
Here's my cap. Insignias are restored.
Years ago there was Rb marked M43 trousers (same material as well) on e- stand here.Comment

I think it's interesting that even an SS tunic made outside of the Reich followed the SS tunic pattern.Comment

I think it was simply made inside the Reich or General Gouvernement (Poland camp system) with captured stocks or occupation produced bolts of Belorussian wool...Originally posted by dhunter93 View Post
and yes issued to mostly Baltic troops...(Estonian, Latvian)Comment

Does anyone else remember all the fake caps and tunics coming out of Latvia that were on ebay several years ago? They were all made from a similar if not identical weave cloth.
I'm not inferring that this tunic is fake, just noting the origin of the cloth.Comment

Nice tunic, I'm curious as well.
Just for your information, the original contract between Germany and Hungary, about lining up the Hungarian SS Divisions, contains an article where it's written that the Division has to be equipped with SS style uniforms but they have to be tailored from the Hungarian brownish/greenish wool. Of course it never happened.
,but could this be a similar case?Comment
