Donnerwetter.

Do save the image since the question of the color of earth grey textiles is endless in these spaces.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

The concordance of the RZM Hersteller number and the VA SS contract tag intrigues me. I wish I knew the definitive answer.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

If that is not enough to arouse your collector's drive, the Obersturmbannfuehrer of the SSVT "D" 1 is also in the Beaver book.
What makes it interesting is that it an issue kind of tunic, without the VA stamp, but of trikotage versus Kommisstuch.
It also has the 1936 sort of brown RZM tag, with the VA contract tag. There the numbers diverge...go figure.
I think the earth brown item must have been had via a different contract with different funds, but what do I know?
The SSVT had multiple budget sources.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

The Trikotage tunic in the issue format is quite rare, in fact.
The issue tunic is usually Kommisstuch, i.e. Tuch, or normal wool, or uniform wool.

These officer tunics are almost always tailored.

But an item of this type is also in all the price lists, from '34 onward.

Thank you F-B. Your analysis of these items is the most valuable element to me.

Thanks. I am not sure I am right, but I generalize from what I have seen, for what it is worth.

I do not doubt the authenticity of the items. The circulation of these things causes intrigue in me.

Thanks and much good fortune to you.

The rank of Obersturmbannfuehrer in the SSVT and in SS "D" 1 etc. is sufficiently researched that, if one got all the Stammrollenkarten, etc.
one could determine the person. Size 46 is quite small as a size, granted that these person had to be soldierly in physique and carriage.

But I leave that to someone else.
