W.Unland Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hello,Here is a fairly uncommon Prussian State police dress cap fitted with the "new" national emblem circa 1935.These caps were worn for a very short period of time before all of the police forces were nationalized and the uniforms standardized. This is my favorite police cap. Very attractive colors.[attachmentid=46480]Regards,Bill Unland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi Bill,What type of uniform would they wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.Unland Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Dear Paul,The standard Prussian blue police uniform and insignia was worn. No sleeve eagle or other TR insignia. SOMETIMES a breast eagle was worn towards the end of their use.These were very quickly replaced by the standardized police uniforms in 1936, so they were only worn for a few years.Here is a photo that I don't think George will mind my posting.[attachmentid=63559]Regards,Bill Unland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.Unland Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yes I agree,The green and blue are very handsome together, and look more like policemen than the "military" uniforms adopted by the TR.Regards,Bill U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
