Schutzpolizei Officer's Overseas Cap (Schiffchen). 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 the green truppenfarbe being allocated to the 'Schutzpolizei des Reichs' (National Protection Police). This is an standard EM/NCO's style overseas cap which has been upgraded to an Officer's cap by adding silver coloured piping along the panels, the cap is having green coloured 'Gendarmerie' piping along the top edge. The cap is having a nicely flat-wire woven officer's type cap-eagle original machine-sewn on front. The cap is size '56' marked. The cap shows some minor traces of years of storage. Rare original overseas cap in very good condition!
