Leibstandarte-SS Uniform Paradeanzug (1936-39)

[Collector1938]

A black Leibstandarte-SS tunic (Dienstrock) in Paradeanzug, with the accommodation of white parade leather equipment which I painted. Marked all leather Reichszeugmeisterei (RZM) and tags inside jacket and under shoulder board, as well as Verwaltungsamt (VA) stamp for detail. The era of uniform in which worn, dates to 1936-1939, as with the reformed and refined cut of the jacket (M32 not applicable). As well when the LAH began wearing unique white equipment for parade/ceremonial wear. Bullion embroidered cuff band. The helmet is an original M16 refurbished shell painted Graugrün, repainted black, and leaving inner roof of the shell green as seen done by SS (1935 onwards decal pattern). Tornister is an original M1895, as the model seen worn by the SS. I have also included the black (M34) schiffchen cap (black pattern introduced in 1936) with early pattern eagle, with RZM tags.

Collectors should remember that Ordnungspolizei parade dress also included white leather for enlisted men and bullion belts, baldric straps, frogs, etc. for officers.  Always look for property markings and don't presume that white leather accouterments automatically mean SS Paradeanzug.  That translates to don't pay SS prices for Police equipment.

-Meant within the SS. Every item but the Tornister is reproduction that I painted, sewn, stamped and tagged. Not for some, "dubious resale fakery" but to recreate a very rare and valuable uniform to the best of my ability via Mollo reference
