Close up view of the collar tabs. Notice the grey Litzen are embroidered on black backing. The squared collar tabs are machine sewn to the collar.

Interior view of the Berlin Schupo tunic. Notice that there is a bandage pocket and a slit in the right hip pocket for the holster to be worn suspended from the trouser belt. This slit is typical of West German Police tunics that are made so the pistol can be worn on the outside of the tunic without an exterior belt. Also notice the interior straps for belt hooks in case an exterior belt is worn.

Thanks Bernd! What I was really surprised about is the quality of some of these visors. The last visor is WSP? Is the below what you wanted to see?

Bernd: Agreed and for 30 pieces of E. & W. German headgear, I paid a fraction of what one resonable Reich era Schupo enlisted visor sells for!

Bernd Yes, the hat shown by Dave is an obsolete issue (last worn around the mid 70's) WSP one from Nordrhein / Westfalen. Dave, by the way that is a very nice little collection of WG Hats. I especially like these older ones because of the wide variety of materials use. I know the foudnation for the Police Re-Org. of the 70's, but they took a lot of character out of the uniforms. The only scarier thing is the new uniforms starting to appear in some of the states....... Andrew

Dave,
Glad to see that you were able to get the older posts loaded back up. I was hoping they hadn't been "lost".
Additionally, for those just coming here, page 1 of this thread features an in-depth examination of the post war police insignia for the states of Baden-Wurttemburg and Bavaria. The next posting will be on Berlin.
Anyone with questions regarding post war police insignia is encouraged to contact me. Additionally, corrections / updates are highly encouraged.

Andrew,
Some wonderful patches! It is great to see the progression of the patches of a single jurisdiction over time. I have noticed that the postwar Tschakos have also come into their own in the past few years and are becoming quite collectable.

Yeah, it is interesting as you get involved in collecting each state to watch the progression. Sometimes it can be a real head scratcher as you think you have gotten a grasp on it, and then realize you don't..... some state are easy, like Schleswig Holstein (English Controlled). Others are a royal pain like Bavaria (US Controlled).

Andrew,
Can you discuss the differences in the crowns we see on Berlin Wappen? I understand the East Germans did not like one or the other versions because it harkened back to Imperial times. I am a bit shaky on the differences however.
This is a cap that was given to me when I visited the Berlin Polizei just after the fall of the wall.
