I would like to have your opinion on this uniform....
Thank you in advance for your time.
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.
Cheers Steve
