Gentlemen

is this A-SS ?
The Collector's Guild

I don't think so, seems more to be PL black walking out trousers,

thank you for an opinion.

Hello Pascal,

I have only seen the standard SS riding breeches and the white opiped, straight legged trousers. I have seen photos that show straight leg trousers without piping, worn by an SS NCO. Of course, I have two vet brought back Allgemeine SS NCO groups and both of them have Hitlerjugend RZM tagged riding breeches. I really don't think there was any difference other than a higher tax paid on RZM-SS labeled breeches.

Hello Bob,
thanks for the opinion, but it's not the tax level, is to be said the RZM tag, I know it could be any tag in a uniform part, not especialy the "right formation" it's more the pant itself.
--- "The outside leg seams are each trimmed with a roughly, 3/4" wide, strip of black rayon" --- its more this fact, which tells me it's a PL form trousers and not A-SS.

Or if it's not NSDAP PO, could it be worn with the "tuxedo" => smoking ?

Here with pics of my black straight trousers (mouse grey lining), no white piping, could you found where you've seen the period pics with the black straight trousers without white piping in wear please?

The past contains many riddles. Maybe someone took the white Paspel out of these lange Hose so as to continue their use after 1945, if the person did not go to the slammer. But who really can say?
