HJ brown-shirt to an Oberkameradschaftsfuhrer

Hello friends,

I recently took delivery of a large lot of HJ items that I'm sorting through for authentication, piece by piece.

I present this HJ uniform shirt for your comments and opinions. Rank of Oberkameradschaftsfuhrer, Bann 734, district of Sud Baden - I believe these match? Shirt in the usual tan cotton twill, three-quarter opening. No markings or labels of any kind to the inside, which for me is so-so, not great but not an automatic thumbs-down.

I do have some concerns.

Firstly, the buttons for the front are not the expected HJ/DJ type one usually sees, although these are present on the pocket flaps. The lanyard is of the green type for a Scharfuhrer - but is this correct, as the next lanyard down is red/white for a Kameradschaftsfuhrer, and the rank of Oberkameradschaftsfuhrer is between these two? I can't seem to find a specific lanyard colour for the Oberkameradschaftsfuhrer rank.

The arm-band I believe looks ok, same construction as another I have that is genuine. A little lighter material. It is attached with only a very little white thread so that it hangs rather ungainly on the sleeve.

The shoulder-straps are, if I am not mistaken, meant to be of the slip-on or snap-on type, but these are sewn into the shirt-seam - is this acceptable on an original? Shoulder-strap buttons are pebbled silver, marked '10' to the top and 'WD' to the rear. Stitched to the shirt with a very little black thread, quite loose.
