SARGE Posted March 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2020 Gents, This is an example of the Saxon Police cap worn by the Landespolizei (LAPO) prior to the adoption of a squat version of the black Police Tschako in the late 1930s. The front cockade has the coat of arms for Saxony and this insignia was worn by municipal police and Gendarmerie prior to the addition of a lower wreath around the button for Landgendarmerie after circa 1934-35. The stiff kepi is covered in blue wool cloth and it has police green piping along with a leather chin strap. These distinctive Saxon Police caps are difficult to find today.

SARGE Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted April 9, 2020 I would like to have this fellow's uniform. Notice he is wearing one of the seldom seen Police Interpreter sleeve bands. This Saxon Policeman spoke "Esperanto" the made up universal language we were all supposed to be speaking by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
