Nice tunic George. With my camera connection down because of unknown USB problems, I can't show mine which seems the same save for insignia. It is strange but mine has NCO boards with three (3) identical pips. Can't find anything for it in Lohken or my Bavarian Bereitschaftpolizei (LAPO) manual.

George, I think the Heer eagle would have been applied AFTER the first absorption of the LAPO units into the Wehrmacht in summer 1935. Yours has the litzen adopted post March 1933, but was the tunic made before then? Any markings on the inside as shown in Lohken?

Also, the leather belt and cross straps were supposed to be dark brown. Were the boots dark brown too?
