Great photo! I've never seen any hat insignia like that before. The collar tabs do look similar to a Oberstluftschutz-F�hrer. Maybe an early Luftschutz? Could the hat insignia be a cities crest?

Raymond, that is exactly what I think too. Early Luftschutz, early also because of the small eagle. In the wreath seems to be a symbol of a city together with the swastika. Some other day we will find out.
In the meantime - it is a very nice photo.

I would be more inclined to think this was an early factory guard type. JMO, Ron Weinand Weinand Militaria
