Tschako Police look ok?

[Eric Zentner]

I like the look of it but what about the lack of maker mark on the inside of it.
And does this affect the value? and is the police green color of this ok? All is help welcome please. Eric

The color is way off on my screen, doesn't look right to me. Liner is wrong color also.
Can you shoot it with a white background?

[Eric Zentner]

No all I have is Mr Shea's pic and the link HG-52 Municipal Police Other Ranks Tschako

[SteveR]

Well I think his photography background is crappy.
But I believe it is good.

[Adrian Stevenson]

I like it and see no problems. I think it is just the colour balance on the pics which is the problem.

Cheers, Ade.

I think the darker tone to the wool as well as the black paint on the chin strap posts indicate this one was a WWII issue reused in post-war Germany. Thousands of shakos were used by the post-war police, often with green wool dyed/colored black as well as fittings. The liner exhibits extreme wear. Bill Shea describes the markings on the liner as correct.

It is TR production, but the condition is poor. These are common--I would hold out for a better one.
