Title Schutzpolizei ORs shako cockade
Nationality German
Period 1942
Sold

The impressed date on the resverse firmly disinguishes this as a Third Reich-era piece. The centre is painted a rather orange shade of red, but perhaps the colour has faded over the years. After 1936, this was the standard cockade for the police shako, beeing worn at the crown, right above the Reich eagle.

This is made of aluminium throughout. The condition is good, but shows some signs of wear.

testimonials

Thanks very much for the bayonet. I am very happy, I think your photos of your items are great because nothing is hidden and you can clearly see them. (Unlike some other dealers.) Everything was as you describe, I will be keeping a eye on your site for any further bayonets for my collection.

Excellent information, Chris, you've been making a big effort! I will spell it out more closely (I'm a historian!) and don't think Bezdek can add much more.
