Hello "SS" Xperts !

need opinions about "Erdbraun" Wachmannschaft tunic...

NOTE: the eagle is restored but following the owner it's an original (I dont' like it at all)

thoughts about the TK tab are welcome ( sorry for the blurry pics )

thank you.

Think the tunic could be OK..., arm eagle bad ( of course ) TK and rank tab bad too ?

tunic could be ok,,but if all insignia were gotten together,i would believe all are bad,,,my 2c

I agree that the tunic has possibilities. The collar tabs and eagle are fakes. I can't tell on the shoulder board.

Construction looks OK, but material is looks like zeltpane. That is not a RZM issue. In this case the buttons is also non marked with SS RZM. Construction looks ok, even the shape of the pockets. These tunics is a bit different in cut from the other later M 36/37 tunics type, and all I have seen has not any traces of insignia

To compare another "textbook" ( I did not think they are exists in a bunch around) example, it is a mint example M 34

And at least the Roman digits in the collartabs must mean the Standarte nr, after they discontinued using Roman Standarte numerals on the straps( hundertshaft Arabic digits on the collartabs- each Standarte has 4 Hundertschafts)
So:

SS-Totenkopfstandarten 1 Oberbayren I
SS-Totenkopfstandarte 2 Brandenburg II
SS-Totenkopfstandarte 3 Thuringen III
After Anschluss- Oesterreich: 1938
SS-Totenkopfstandarte 4 Ostmark IV
1939 year
SS-Totenkopfstandarte 5 Dietrich Eckhardt V
It must be V, but I think it must be rare bird, and I'am dare to say that there noone has a orig example in collection
