SD OPEN COLLAR NCO TUNIC

SOLD!

Here for sale a killer example of a heart-grey service tunic of a SS-Hauptscharführer in the Sicherheitdienst (SD).

Overall condition is excellent.

Made in fine german wool with officer NCO boards, collar tabs are machine sewn. "Alter Kampfer" rank chevron, bullion SD diamond and bullion sleeve eagle are hand sewn in the proper way with period thread. Collar and SD diamond have the black/white twisted cord piping.

This type of uniform was introduced in 1932 for the SS personel only. In 1935 were introduced the heart-grey tunic with armband (with swastika), that was replaced in 1938 by the sleeve eagle. This type of tunic, heart-grey with open collar and sleeve eagle was also used by the SD.

The tunic showed here belonged to a SD NCO (SS-Hauptscharführer) who served out of a territorial command (the black cufftitle was only used by those serving in the territorial commands of first and second level). No traces of the black cufftitle on the french cuff of the sleeve.

Nothing more to add for an amazing and extremely rare to see unifom, seldom seen offered on market.
