Re: regarding insignia on NSDAP tunic
Presently, you have a stripped political leader tunic. The collar piping and collar tabs are missing. Without those items, one can not determine if the kampfbinde you have is appropriate or not. You could utilize the services of one of the researchers who have access to the NSDAP files in Washington D.C. to gain the correct information

Re: regarding insignia on NSDAP tunic
Hi Bob,
Thank you for your reply. Out of curiosity, I knew the collar tabs were gone but I couldn't even tell that there had ever been piping, do you know there was piping by the look of the collar or is there some other indicator. How do I get in contact with one of these people in Washington?
thanks
Sam

Sam-
In rare cases, there is photographic evidence of collar piping not being worn. This appears to have been most common in the area of Alsace. Lately, I have used Michael Constandy of Westmoreland Research. Mike can be reached at mjc@westmorelandresearch.org. I believe Mike is presently in Europe. Let him know I sent you.

Re: regarding insignia on NSDAP tunic
Thanks Bob,
Merzig is on the point near Luxembourg and Alsace & Lorraine so I guess it is possible that it does not have the piping. Is it unusual if it doesn't? I know you said it is rare for photographic evidence. I will contact Michael about the research in Washington. How much will that cost?
Again thanks for the information

Cost will vary depending on the amount of time Mike expends.

Re: regarding insignia on NSDAP tunic
Mikes just done a full research on an SS officer for me. I can highly recommend his work. Breath taking
