Info needed : SS Brownshirt for viewing..

OK, i have been looking at this shirt, i thought i would pass the information on for you all to view it.

My problem is, it seems like a piece parts Brownshirt, as the collar tab stitching is done by hand, and poorly done.

The guy who has it, says it pass’ black light test, but the German were fanatical when it came to their uniforms.

He says he has a pair of tan in color breeches , but the correct breeches, would be black in color for an SS brownshirt.

The guy seems to think its an SA brownshirt, I think it looks more like an SS model.
