If you think that your cuff title looks like the example shown that YOU posted, then I guess I cant help you. Tell you what if you dont want to listen to my advice then by all means live in the fantasy world that this tunic is authentic and the accessories on them. I encourage you to do some reading and learn a little bit more about who and where Waffen SS Tunics were being manufactured from the period of 1939 to 1944.

You still havent posted a photo of the lining of the Tunic, which at this point is moot, but would certainly seal the deal and allow me to tell you exactly who made this reproduction.

the award is just sitting on there , like i said the boards have come out , not the first tunic this to happin too. yes i am fully aware about were tunics were made as i am sure you are aware the dutch and other foreign countrys made tunics and insignia for the ss .. . i do have the books just look in legions by little john .. all so angola . mike beaver , still no one has shown me a east german tunic made like this , i am sure you are all aware the germans gave the dutch used allgemeine tunics , ha i only put up because i had the same thoughts .. but i have been digging and so what some are saying is even the insgnia thats not mine i have shown here is all fake ? right ?

I'm not sure what this is exactly, but I feel like if this guy tried to show up and stand to attention for the LAH in this he would have been drug out back! Seems like a replaced collar, the EK1 doesn't make sense where it's placed, how would you fit other awards under/near it? It looks sloppy and bad, and the way that the shoulder boards are sewn in is horrible. I sewed some shoulder boards into a Heer tunic of mine the other week and seeing this makes me feel waaay better about my handywork! As for the tunic itself, it seems likely that the reason you can't find an eagle on the breast is because this is a postwar jacket of some sort, though, you're right I can't find a postwar 6 button jacket, I have no idea.

i think you need to have a look at how awards are worn !
