Hi Gents

at some point I've decided this is from 'Nether Saxony'. Label is in my writing but I don't remember how sure I was.....!

lightweight but sturdy

Farkas,

Thanks for your post. This appears to be a late issue Schako badge for Niedresachsen (Lower Saxony in English).  Probably late 80s early 90s before the Schakos were discontinued.  Earlier Schako badges had threaded posts on the back of the badge and were held to the Schako with nuts screwed onto the posts.  Here is a Schako with a Niedresachsen badge in place.

Regards,

Gordon

Good evening,

the Polizei-Tschako in Niedersachesen after WWII was worn between 1947/48 and 1968.
