German 'Gendarmerie' Service Tunic

Description

German Police Service Tunic (Dienstrock) as intended for a 'Meister der Gendarmerie' (Rural Police). 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 orange truppenfarbe being allocated to the 'Gendarmerie' (Rural 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 tailor made police service tunic as intended for a 'Meister der Gendarmerie'. Nice heavy quality police blue-green wool/rayon blend construction service tunic. The straight cut sleeves have simulated French cuffs. The upper left sleeve has a nice quality, machine embroidered gendarmerie type police sleeve eagle hand-sewn. There is a lay flat collar with a metal hook and loop neck closure, one loop is damages, see close-up. A pair of orange coloured collar-tabs are nicely machine-sewn to the collar. The tunic has sew-in type shoulder boards in bright, silver/aluminum braid on a orange wool base as intended for a 'Meister der Gendarmerie'. The tunic is not visible maker marked. The tunic is in overall very good condition with minimal traces of wear and storage, see photos. This tunic will make a great display, nice original Police tunic!
