    Hello there,
    My name is Alexander Whang and I'm brought to you by my attempts at finding out the authenticity of a German blouse that I purchased over 20+ years ago. I'll be posting pics soon but what has me confused about it is that it seems to be an SS jacket (black felt collar, a single pip on the wearer's left collar tip) BUT, the sleeve title cuff reads

    Langemark (not the usual Langemarck)

    Anyways, I'm hoping to get some pics taken and I'll be posting again to pick your brains soon :)

    Thanks
    AWhang

    Hmm, the "Langemark" spelling is a postwar spelling, so it doesn't sound too good regarding authenticity.
