grantsmil Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I have another Police 'combat' tunic, but stripped of badges, I have found some collars but no sleeve eagle. It's in quite good condition all things considered. I also have about 4 or 5 breaches and a pair of 'combat' trousers. (& one belt) I have only recently been getting into non-military uniforms and picked up some odd bits including RAD, NSKK and some political (SA) as well as a nice uniform to the red cross (DRK) Below is a recent addition, the side cap.
Paul R Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I say that you have done very well! Thank you for sharing these with us.
Gerard Auckram Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Hi I have just brought this German police great coat and was hoping to find out more about it. Can any one help.
W.Unland Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Hello, Your coat is pre 1941 made model 1936, and is for a Meister (warrant officer) of the civil Gendarmerie.as denoted by the orange branch color. The Gendarmerie functioned in rural areas without Schutzpolizei protection. It looks to be in nice condition. Regards, William Unland Edited October 3, 2017 by W.Unland
Stuka f Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Very nice! No uniforms, only hats over here. I'll post some asap.
Gerard Auckram Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Thanks William for your information. German ww11 uniforms don’t turn up in New Zealand auctions very often. This Mantel wasn’t too expensive at around $200us. It is is good condition although I think the cuffs have been altered.
grantsmil Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Here is a similar great coat, although this is made of wool and lined with a dark grey blanket material. Unlike your's, Gerard, there is no visible ink stamp on the inside to tell me when or where it was made or issued. An M40 jacket [?]. The shoulder straps had been removed.

grantsmil Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 An M43 Police cap with metal badges and a sewn-in 'pinched' crown. The front The crown is pinched with some stitches.
Paul R Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Do you have any police items that are connected to the 1944 Warsaw Uprising?
