Post War Police Visor?

Thanks for checking out. On ebay right now just cant figure this one out. It only has top piping and a bit unfamiliar to me. Maybe a postwar? Thanks

Sorry, I forgot, this is for paying members only. Anyway the maker did make cps during the TR, this, however, is his post-war logo. I'm not sure what the cap the thread started off with was, post-war police caps mostly had three rings of piping as had TR ones (that's why they are often used for fakes) this one seems to have just crown piping.

In my opinion, it's a Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) cap.

Thank you both for confirming my suspicions and the link!!

Yep, BGS aka Federal (West German) Border Protection. Looks like this with badges;

BGS were raised as a police force rather than as part of the Bundeswehr for political reason.
BGS kit from the cold war period is collectible though and is getting hard to find it just depends on your collecting focus. I have BGS items in my collection because it represents an inextricable part of the post war intra German history of BRD and DDR that was a direct consequence of WWII.

"Join WRF Club" on the top banner, it 25$ US and well worth it if you collect TR Headgear.
I find many new members don't realize this, it opens up more sections of the forum, it's well worth it.
