RAD Mann,

I believe your tunic is a postwar police tunic. It has the typical postwar cut with open collar and lower slash pockets. I would guess it has an added eagle and swastika sleeve insignia, Russian Front ribbon, and wartime shoulder boards. I can't tell if the collar tabs are wartime or postwar Polizei.

Sorry you got hosed. Frown

I just turned the sleeves inside out and there is old thread from a triangular shaped patch and further down the sleeve there was a cuff title.Any ideas?Thanks for your help.

The triangular shaped patch does not ring a bell but there were a variety of postwar German police patch shapes. They also wore some cuff titles, particularly indicating language fluency. Of course, these patches could be something else similar to the Russian Front ribbon or eagle.
