GERMAN WWII ALLGEMEINE SS SD UNTERSTURMFUHRER’S TUNIC

A fabulous condition Allgemeine SS SD tunic constructed in the heavy-grained twill material. Large-sized tunic. One moth or rodent hole in the upper back panel measuring 3.5cm x 2 cm that has been patched with one more minor moth nip in one of the deep turn-back cuffs. Privately tailored with the faint remains of an Aachen tailor’s label. Officers twisted the cord to the collar. The single shoulder board fitted is for the period 1934 until 1942, covering the rank of Untersturmführer. The left-hand collar patch is blank, as all SD tunics are; the opposite collar patch has three rank pips attached. A nice quality multi-constructed Allgemeine SS armband with one moth nip to the red field. An officer's SD lozenge is situated on the lower left sleeve with a blank cuff title having seven silver strands. Five loops above the upper left-hand pocket as the tunic is worn for a long medal ribbon bar. Loops to the pocket below for one award. All of the buttons fitted are ‘Assmann’ marked. Standard black lining. The Assmann marked, belt support buttons at the rear marked ‘Assmann’ and dated ‘1937’. To the centre of the right-hand sleeve, as the tunic is worn, is fitted an Old Fighters chevron. A very fine tunic for the Gestapo.
