      Over the years we have all seen where various items posted on the WAF have been unjustly criticized, but the unfavorable comments here regarding this tunic are absolutely valid and should not be dismissed.

        I would like to have your opinion on this uniform....

        Thank you in advance for your time.
        For what little it might be worth, there are some features of this tunic that I like and others that cause me to pause.

        If you will have this jacket at the next SOS, my advice would be to seek out several knowledgeable SS uniform collectors to assist you with an evaluation.

But study of period photos rarely shows them without cyphers when a cufftitle was worn on the twill uniforms.

          That is just one observation. Others have pointed out some other good reasons to suspect this is a put together. This guy was a WWI veteran and an older member of the Nazi party or Police so he was either with DF from the get go or a late war transfer...I highly doubt the latter....in fact I highly doubt both scenarios. It almost looks like an old Chuck Wariner put together I saw many years ago.

          I could be wrong, but I would advise caution with this one.
          So true....he was very good at his “craft”. I have some photos he sent me back the day I’ll dig up.
          Cheers Steve

            That holster is one of the oddest things I have seen. It is stuff like this that gives me a long pause with the "whole grouping from the family" story.
