SS/SD tunic with empty cufftitle - ask for help

I agree with FB that the cuff title is a very poor fake. There is no evidence that this tunic is WW2 era except for a spurious ink stamp. The cut of the tunic is incorrect f ro a SD tunic.

Father of one guy was working in that factory during war. I will ask for more pictures but I really think it is m42 police tunic.

You should post this on the Police forum. The color looks more like Police and it has the pleated top pocket and unpleatef lower. If it is original it will be easy to restore at a fraction of the cost of SS insignia.

Well said. I did not recognize the Polizei cut of the item, and, in an extreme sense, I can imagine an SD man using a police uniform, since there was an overlap of kinds.

However, the stamp does not please me, nor does the cuff title, as I have shown you from my own collection the proper appearance of such an item.

We also deal with tangible pictorial and documentary evidence on this site.

Happy cuffs.

These were apparently the uniforms of the same personage, but notice that they are two distinct uniforms.

I only bought the black tunic in the year 2003. It had an overcoat, which I did not buy.

Excuse my ignorance, but what was the use of the blank cuff title? Was it a sign of an unasigned unit?

The blank cuff title was used in various ways, too difficult to explain here in detail.

Andreas or others more able and intelligent than I can list the varieties and permutations.

What I enclose was used by the SD Sipo.
