RAD Buckle Paulmann & Crone

This just arrived today. A minty 1936 RAD buckle tabbed by Paulmann & Crone,
As others I have witnessed and have on hand, its’ original maker ( Buckle ) R.S.S. has been ground a bit lightly and blacked out by some unknown substance. The maker is no doubt
Richard Sieper & Sohn as denoted by the three trademark "Diamonds" as I refer to them and visible to an extent. The 1938 example I have is almost identical as far as markings , but
there is no block out / masking. This comes from and old collection and there were 8 of them
all in mint state.. Many thanks to Ron Weinand for a great addition to my collection.

Mauser P38

Acquired a nice Mauser Werke P38 today. Late 1944 manufacture, all matching numbers. Couldn’t pass up the discount that was offered. Hope you guys like it.

The last picture is a comparison of the Walther HP and the P38. Sorry for the terrible lighting I had.

White Summer POW SS/Heer Tunic?

I recently picked up this, what I believe is POW White Summer Tunic that has all collar tabs, left arm SS Eagle, Cuff Title and shoulder boards all removed. There seems to be evidence of a Breast Eagle that may have been attached and removed at some time. Above the traces of the removed Breast Eagle, that may have been something else stitched and removed from above that eagle. It appears to have a #9 embroidered on the inside back of the tunic. There are also stamp on the inside left breast Looks like U 575 or U573 along with another stamp beneath that (Heller?) Underneath the collar there is also writing.
If at all possible, I would like some input as to this Tunic as SS? Heer?, POW, meaning of the writing, stamps, #9 etc. and any other thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated.
