Re: Non-textbook uniform in wear
Interesting and quite strange. The horn buttons are very unusual, but not the only non-regulation aspect seen in this portrait, there are several other oddities:
There are no shoulder boards, no sleeve eagle and no NCO collar Tresse (he's not an officer, the collar patch is for the SNCO rank of Hauptscharführer).
Also, the SS runes and rank pips on the collar patch appear oversized.
I really don't know what to make of this photograph... A retouched image? An eastern volunteer whose uniform and insignia consist of improvised/locally made items?

Re: Non-textbook uniform in wear
There are some strange examples of non-regulation wear out there.

Re: Non-textbook uniform in wear
Add : EK ribbon is in third buttonhole .
With this many obvious discrepancies ( especially oversized runes & rank ) , how about an actor in a 1950's or even period play / movie .. ?! Just a thought ..
