Framed Polizei 'Motorisierte Gendarmerie' Cufftitle & Portrait Photo

Description

Period framed Polizei Unterwachtmeister's 'Motorisierte Gendarmerie' Cufftitle (Ärmelband) & Portrait Photo. The cufftitle was worn on the lower left sleeve of the service tunic. Brown wool construction cufftitle showing the neatly hand-embroidered Gothic script 'Motorisierte Gendarmerie' (Motorized Rural Police) in silver bullion threads. The cufftitle is in clearly worn and tunic removed condition, the cufftitle has been period framed together with a portrait photo of an 'Unterwachtmeister der Schutzpolizei' wearing what appears to be the exact same cufftitle. The frame is sized approximately 34 x 28 cms. This frame has probably hung at the wall as a souvernir of his service with the Polizei during the war. Interesting piece of history which will be a great addition to a Polizei collection!
