    Default Verkehrspolizei (Traffic) Tschako for review

    Found this which I quite like.

    By no means as nice as the other example posted a few months back by another member but these are not easy to find.

    The white paint seems to match the age of the Tschako and the eagle, although faded, looks original too.

    This is priced at £735ish which I think is a bit high given its condition but I'll throw it out here and see what those with more savvy think.

    Thanks in advance

    J--one has to be careful with these, as most are regular Schupo shakos with the green felt removed and repainted white.

    It looks like the finish of the body is rough, ie, almost like the felt was removed, but it could be age crazing--hard to tell.

    You want a smooth body finish as such:

    The lugs & hardware is silver colored. Vent screens look to be spray painted with white spray paint. The one Stone posted the body looks to be white leather

    Thanks Gents, enough information for me to steer clear 👍👍

    I cannot rule out the possibility that it was an expedient measure, in that standard Traffic Police shakos were not available to the municipality, so they simply took a Schupo shako and removed the felt, painting it white.

    However, no way to prove it.

    I do not like to first shown shako. Too much bells are ringing!
    I think it is all put together.
