TR police field gear questions

[GRIZZLE]

Sarge or others, did the schupo use all police marked equipment like there bread bags, did they proof the y straps and belts also, like a Luger holster is police accepted. Thanks GR

[daskrieg]

Bread bags were in police green, I've seen a lot of police marked leather holsters

[GRIZZLE]

Did they also police proof belts , y straps, ammo pouches , did police combat troops use lightweight or combat y straps?

[daskrieg]

As far as I know they used standard heer uniforms and equipment but with police insignia applied 

[SARGE]

daskrieg is correct.  A lot of police equipment was "Pol" or specifically property marked for independent police departments. Here are some typical Polizei property markings.

Then belts and y straps could be marked the same , I have holsters and firearms police marked , never seen a belt or y straps marked in such a way , I ask that as I am putting together a late war schupo tunic mannequin 

[SARGE]

I have different styles of back packs that are property marked to the Railway Police, regular police, Bavarian, & Land Police.  If putting together a NS period mannequin I would look for one that is marked but accept one Army marked as the Police did sometimes draw equipment from the Heer.  Here is an example of one with all Pollce marked equipment.

 

BTY, I have a spare Police marked fur box pack if you want to contact me off line.
