Could it be the remains of a post war movie piece? That might explain a breast eagle and a sleeve eagle. A 9 would make it easier to identify in the prop house too. Just a thought.

It definitely seems worn quite a bit. When I picked it up, it was described as a POW tunic.

An original white SS tunic wouldn't have the remains of a chest eagle.
I'd think movie prop also, POW would be painted onto the tunic, that chain stitched P is too easy to remove.

Looks like an original army cut summer tunic, though I usually see the loops for a pin back metal breast eagle on these. Also looks like they glued some sort of collar tabs onto it...hence the damaged tab area. An Army summer tunic carried no tabs as a rule from what I have experienced.
Markings are strange & my guess a theatrical badged army with SS regalia attatched
Hope Friedrich does not see this...Too many "thumb" shots...Heads up FB !!

The lack of cuffs and absence of the classic "rock" cut on the reverse are signs of a post-war tunic, IMO...

Didn't the German police wear a white summer tunic for a short time?
-
Traffic Police wore white tunics but they had gold buttons and there is no outline from a Police eagle.

Yes, according to reference....the reverse rock was optional wartime, but not the fold back cuffs. So believe your observation is correct Arran. Most likely post war theatre tunic
