Franz, cheers, it's appreciated.
Peiper, you're not really normal are you?

I'm pretty sure this is a fake, Anyone got an idea what it's meant to be from?
Collar tab? Armband?

You're right enough Stiggie ye old humper of amps, it would be fair to assume that some army tunics found their way onto SS bodies though?
You may have a point about it being tropical though, but were the tropical ones not all open neck?
The picture seems to show an opening for a fifth button.

They were used from the Great War up to the War of 39-45.
Early on, they were used by German troops, later they did get used by Foreigners.
