Happy New Year to all here.

Really a nicely detailed presentation Kindersabel.

These theater house property wardrobe uniforms can vary from entirely original to seamstress reproduced from new or parts in my experience. If I am looking at it I see the Landgendarmerie (LG21) markings in the lining. These seem to indicate a LandGendarmerie property marking for the year of...

Interesting! I have not seen this particular re-work before. I notice the rivet in the back seems to be different than the rest? I also see the Police decals are the correct ones applied in the proper manner. I see that the two holes that were made for the brass Austrian Gendarmerie flaming...

Congratulations on an excellent LG helmet giorgio. I am glad to know that the numbers stamped next to the "LG" designation inside the helmet indicates the year of issue. I previously thought they might have indicated a specific Gendarmerie unit or area. Thank you for asking your questions. I...

My wife and I just got over Covid. I took Paxlovid and my wife did not and she recovered faster than I did. Her case morphed into a sinus infection and mine into pneumonia. This new strain seems to do that my Doc tells me. We both then took antibiotics and are better now. A nasty bug to...

Thank you all for your positive comments. The bayonet hanger idea came to me one day as I was looking at a blank wall in my collection rooms. This display consists of four 8' lengths of steel hot round rod available at the hardware store. These heavy stiff rods rest horizontally on three...

Not to grab your thread but I actually had to turn down a free glass front/sides museum display cabinet a week or two ago because I had no place to put it. I may have a bigger problem if I am running out of display cabinet room due to too much stuff to put in it. Oh well. So, I also have a...

Nice...

Many thanks for the steel shell maker information. Your maker suggestion was just confirmed to me by another collector as, "LS stands for Linnemann & Schnetzer". Peter, thanks for the info on the Hamburg steel helmet. I already have one or I would pounce on it. George

Gents, I just picked up a nice example of the postwar Bavarian barracked police steel helmet that I thought I would show. My new steel helmet came in the mail yesterday so I suppose it meets the requirement of a "latest find" and it is a German helmet. This is the Bavarian steel helmet...

These eagle head pommel sabers are hard to find. Nicely displayed as well.

Thanks for your kudos. Here is an example of the earlier style of Hessian Infantry Officer Portepee just to show the difference.

I picked up a nice Hessian Officer sword knot last week that I thought I would show. In an earlier thread I showed a Hessian Infantry Officer sword with a proper early Hesse knot with a round ball and stem and slider used for Infantry Officers prior to 1889. This is the later knot used after...

Excellent information in an easy to understand format. Thanks!

I will take your shooting lanyard if still available. George

If the group wants to make a new forum I would be happy to participate. I have a rather large collection of German Police items from Imperial through the DDR era. Let me know what you would like to see and discuss. You could use some of my old posts to populate our new forum category if you...

Thank you. Here is the peaked cap for your Baden-Wurttemberg Tschako ensemble.

Firefly, Some very nice Polizei headgear and uniforms that you are showing. Thanks for sharing your collection. I have a question. Did the various post 1945 Polizei Musikgroup bandsmen continue to wear the wartime red plume with the Tschako?

I have a couple of these Polizei beer steins.
