An early Black SS tunic…. with original insignia?

Greetings Friends
This tunic has attracted previous passing comment and I’m surprised more hasn’t been said.. unless I’ve missed something.
A couple of questions have come to mind that I would appreciate any of your considerations.

Assuming its an authentic early, intact and well-worn tunic, is it unusual that the owner didn’t progress beyond the rank of SS-Mann?
The seller has kindly sent more detailed photos that I have not sought permission to re-publish. I was interested as to how much the stitching that attaches the collar piping and collar tabs might differ from later RZM-issue or tailored tunics.

Thanks for your input. Regards, Paul
