SS OFFICER'S M36 GREATCOAT High-quality tailored private purchase greatcoat in medium-green doeskin wool, double-breasted with five green-painted pebbled metal buttons on either side, with two button-less slash pockets with flap style closures on either side of the waist. The collar is of green wool and closes with one brass collar hook, which is covered by a matching dark green wool flap. The left sleeve bears a brilliant SS silver flatwire sleeve eagle, and the coat is further adorned with two slip-on shoulder boards, each board piped in yellow rayon piping with a gilt gothic 'A' cipher and one gilt pip, all indicating the rank of an Obersturmbannfuhrer assigned to a reconnaissance unit within the SS Cavalry. Single rear belt strap with two large green painted pebbled buttons on the exterior rear of coat. The inner lining is a green rayon twill with no manufacturer's tag present. Within the coat at the left breast, an interior pocket is fitted along with a standard chrome unmarked dagger clasp suspended by a gray piece of leather, serving the adjacent exterior slash-type pocket. All buttons are matching and marked: 'Assmann Extra'. The coat shows evidence of honest wear, with a couple rub marks to the inner collar and back, not detracting. Overall excellent condition - this greatcoat is stunning.
