WOW—this is exactly what every SS collector wants to have in their collection room—a ready made display! This is an RZM-issued SS mantel (overcoat) constructed by Maker 251. This mantel has exactly what you want on one of these--all of the trimmings are SS marked and all to 1937-1938, including the belt, buckle, cross strap and buttons! Each of the buttons on the front and the rear belt supporting buttons are marked RZM SS 155/37. The two buttons on the lower reverse flap are marked RZM M5/8. The entire piece looks near perfect. Upon close inspection there are a few spots on the lower part of the mantel’s left side (from wearer’s view) that show minor nap loss in the right light. There are also a few light runs/nap loss to the interior in the very lower part left side. These do not detract from the magnificent look that this set up has when on display! All of the insignia are mint and bullion, including the Deutschland cufftitle, SS1 collar tab, rank tab, and the shoulder strap. The armband’s white rayon disc shows no damage and remains brilliant unlike many that brown out and show age to the silk. It is completely sewn so I can not see a tag on it. If you want a no-nonsense piece SS display piece, this is it! As nice as it comes and rarely seen on the open market. This group includes:
SS Mantel (overcoat)
Belt marked SS 1/38 RZM CROUPON (this belt also has a built in loop for cross strap attachment);
