I really like the Polizei Tschako especially the shiny black one (the one that so many people insist were not worn in the TR period!) and the helmet plates on these look unusually large.
Can somebody shed light on that or is it just the picture?

Regards

Mark

PS They are a fairly salty looking bunch. What do you reckon,a publc relations section maybe?

Mark, the eagles look standard size to me. Photo depicts a transitional period, in that the guys in the dark-blue uniforms are Landespolizei, while the guys in the standard police-green are Schutzpolizei.
Given the eagles on the green visors, photo is no earlier than 1936.

Thanks I noted the cap badges on the Schirmuetzen are 2nd pattern. It was just that the plates on the Tschako seemed larger and I wondered if it was a variant I hadn't seen before. Must be an optical illusion (or my imagination)
