Grey leather Officers greatcoat for a Waffen-SS officer

Grey leather Officers greatcoat for a Waffen-SS officer. The garment is sewn in a typical cut which was allowed to wear by officers in the Waffen-SS. It differs to most if not all of the grey leather trenchcoats by a number of details. The trenchcoat is fully lined in grey ‘Italian’ hbt rayon which is typical for Waffen-SS garments. Secondly, the coat has a faux rear waist strap which is not adjustable. The jacket never had a sleeve eagle but this also seems typical for this type of garment (see the original images in the gallery) – I have yet to find a period photo of a leather coat with a sleeve eagle. The shoulderstrap loops are removed but could easily be restored. This is a very rare, original example that in my opinion is a Waffen-SS issue piece.
