A fine quality REPRODUCTION Tunic & Cap found by War-Den in the U.S.A. The tunic itself is of thick wool material and certainly aged but showing no signs of mothing, rips or tears. All silver pebbled buttons are present and marked on the back “RZM – M5 a 93”. The marking of these buttons is strange in itself as it does suggest manufacture by Paulmann & Crone of Ludenscheid, Germany, but this manufacturer does not have an “a” included in their maker mark. To the left breast pocket are four award loops all intact. There are two breast pockets and two slashed pockets at just below waist level. Internal of the tunic it is lined with black cotton/silk combination material and the arms have again a cotton/silk stripped patterned material. There is totally no damage to the tunic inside or out – very high quality tailoring. Tunic is a small size estimated at a “36” chest.

ALL insignia is REPRODUCTION again, quality is nice but certainly of a newer manufacture than the tunic itself. It includes armband, shoulder board, cuff-title, collar patches and arm chevron.

The cap again is of a newer construction than the tunic and is pretty much in mint condition. It has a very nice high saddle shape with aluminium Eagle and Totenkopf. Internal it is silk lined with light brown material and marked “SS” with a black RZM SS label. Cap is estimated at a size 57.

The tunic is aged and very fine quality – War-Den considers this tunic a REPRODUCTION. Cap and insignia are modern REPRODUCTIONS.

A nice space filler for any collector who does not have £25,000 to spare for an original tunic and another £8000 for a cap.
