Guest Rick Research Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Some sort of courthouse or prisons official? Never seen the teeny swastika on Bavarian cockade before-- quite interesting.White purple-red piping on otherwise completely charcoal gray hat?

David Robertson Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) The piping is a Burgundy color. The photo I found shows the key in the logo for Norddeutscher Lloyd shipping line. Edited March 30, 2009 by David Robertson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The similarity of jail keys here to that is accidental. The German merchant marine wore naval style dark blue and white naval pattern uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
