Hi Chris, there's no reference to the post but if you are referring to my colourisation, thanks, as you know I try to get it right, if it's not about my post, then oops I will feel like a total idiot!!, If you worked with his twin, I assume he didn't arrive at work dressed like that regards Alex
dante Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Another one of mine....never did find out what the arm badge was......?
bolewts58 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 My guess for the arm-badge is Weimar era Prussian Police.
bolewts58 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 My guess on the armbadge is Prussian state police.
dante Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Had a look at all my police books....cannot find it
turtle Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I´m sure he´s wearing a Reichswehr uniform the chevrons below the armshield denote the rank of Stabsgefreiter.

Only the Polish had a white SA. It's probably a silvered or gilt version. They were made in different finishes beside black. Edited December 6, 2020 by bolewts58

Nice photo, but I think, that he only is Gefreiter. Kind regards Andreas
