Polizei insignia - Shoulderboards

[jamie7d7]

I've been tidying up today and decided to take some photos at the same time.

Here are my Gendarmerie Shoulderboards (and some tabs). The individual boards are on my tunic and waffenmantel




And here is a selection of other boards I have picked up. They include SchuPo, Justice / Penal, Protectorate of Bohemia & Moravia, Wasserschutzpolizei and Gemeinde (with 2 sets of tabs also).

Nice groupings, however ...
§ Wasserschutzpolizei epaulettes are postwar. Their outer aluminum braid differs from wartime one (note the lack of "V" shaped highlights).
§ the epaulettes with "IX" metal device are Army Recruting Branch, the Roman numerals denoting the district. Gendarmerie shoulder insignia had no numbers.
