Mantel SA Standartenführer

[shejken]

Hi Guys.
I am in shopping mode !!!
This long coat for an SA Standartenführer is up for sale.
Everything in the pictures but the dagger and the doll is included.
It looks allright in my eyes, but you guys are far more experienced than me.
Do you see any red flags ?

I am not in it for the money, but it is a good feeling when you don´t lose too much.

Regards Tommy

I can not tell much from these pictures except the source is the same as the NSKK uniform. In that case, I would proceed with caution as he already is selling you a put together uniform. That speaks much to the owner's lack of knowledge or ethics.

Ok. Thanks.

The collar tabs in that colour should represent "Gau München" if I am correctly informed.
The "Feldherrnhalle" cuff link I know very little about, maybe a fantasy item ?

But if the items are period and original, I must of course obtain a Felherrnhalle SA-Dagger to go with it.
This can be an expensive adventure

Regards Tommy.

Munich was part of SA Gruppe Hochland. Their base color was cornflower blue with a silver button. The color of these tabs is carmine which is correct for members of Feldherrnhalle. I do not particularly like the cuff title. This would be an easy ensemble to put together. I would want provenance and more shots including the inside for RZM tag and or tailor label with owner's name that could be researched.
The Feldherrnhalle dagger was an award dagger given to dignitaries and not a standard dagger worn by officers in the unit.

Thanks for the answer.

I know about the Feldherrnhalle dagger. I was joking about getting one. A little bit expensive right now for me.
Must wait untill I get my monthly salary

Regard Tommy.

Hi again.

Got more pictures from the seller from the inside of the coat.
No RZM-mark, No tailors mark, just a funny label.
I also do not like the fonts of the Feldherrnhalle cuff link, compared to known examples for sale.
Yes, I have done som research !!!

I think I will pass on this one.
Good or bad call ???

Regards Tommy.

[BOB COLEMAN]

A good decision to pass. This seller needs to be avoided.

A good decision to pass. This seller needs to be avoided.

Do heed the words of a man with more than a half century of experience and a keen insight into these issues. Hurra!
