Fritz Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Tschako for Schützpolizei (not Gendarmerie). The leather of the chinstrap has been replaced, fittings original. All fittings on Tschako are aluminium. The small aluminium loop on the left sidepost is missing. This was for holding the falling white horsehair plume, rarely worn. Cockade and eagle (zink) for the peaked service cap Insignia for the M.43 cap, unused, edge with slight storage damage Portépée for the officer's sword. Woven textile band, instead of leather, mid to late war from unissued stocks Steel belt buckle with remains of matt silver finish, some corrosion. As worn by field units.
