A very nice collection of West German Police caps. I see you have what looks to be a Berlin Verkehrspolizei white top cap in the center of the bottom row. Here is a well worn Berlin peaked cap that I got from a Sergeant that I did a ride along with in Berlin about ten years ago. He styled it into a "50 mission crush" but since he was then on a plain clothing assignment, he said he would just requisition a new cap when he went back into uniform.
When I was there around 1993, there had just been a scandal with the Berlin traffic police accused of siphoning off some traffic fine money before it got turned in. Most of the traffic police guys at that time were recently integrated East German policemen who were in the midst of the accusations. The Verkhrspolizei were not a bunch of happy campers at that time and were a pretty sullen lot. They did look good in their white top caps though.
