Belgium Belgian Congo police fez for native police members

[Stuka f]

Also a very rare, never issued, police fez.

Only used by native police members in secundary important city's.

In primory important city's the tri-color roundel was replaced by a roundel bearing the city logo, only one such a city got his own police city roundel and that was Leopold-ville.

Note that the tricolor roundel has a reversed following up of the Belgian colors, thise was a regulation for all tricolor roundels on native uniforms.

Very interesting! Any idea why the colours were reversed?

I guess to make a clear differences between the inmate headdress and the European's...
