German Police Combat Field Blouse (Polizei Feldbluse M42). The police were divided into eight assorted branches of service and during the restructuring the different police agencies were assigned specific identifying 'Truppenfarbe' (Branch Colors), with green truppenfarbe being allocated to the 'Schutzpolizei des Reichs' (National Protection Police). The German Police had no enlisted ranks with the lowest rank being an 'Unterwachtmeister' which was equivalent to the German army rank of Unteroffizier. This is a nice mid war police tunic as intended for a 'Wachtmeister der Schutzpolizei'. The tunic is having four pockets with field-grey finished, pebbled metal, buttons. There is a six-button front closure using the same type of buttons. There is a lay flat collar with a metal hook and loop neck closure. The tunic is complete with a pair of slip-on shoulder-boards as intended for an 'Wachtmeister', a pair of BeVo woven collar-tabs is nicely machine-sewn to the collar. A machine-embroidered police eagle is factory machine-sewn to the wearer's left sleeve. The interior is a green/brown coloured cotton lining material, it is maker marked by 'R. Bartùnèk' from Triesch (Třešť, Czechoslovakia) with black ink stamps and dated 1942. The field blouse is in very good probably unissued condition. However the tunic suffered from some moth damage after the war and unfortunately is showing multiple moth damages, see photos. Overall still a great foreign Czech made combat police field blouse in good condition!
