Bahnschutz visor cap - em/nco
Hi

I don't know too much about Bahnschutz, but the fact that this cap is dark blue with three WHITE pipings struck me as I only knew this form: Rail Police visor original?
or that (for officers): Bahnpolizei Officer's Visor Cap
The early Bahnschutz visor caps were indeed dark blue, but with two red pipings along the centerband and a blue one on the crown or, for officers, with three SILVERY Gespinstlitzen. See here: bahnschutzuniformen - Streifdienst 1926
I am curious to read the Bahnschutz experts' opinions on this.
EDIT: Just found out that HPL2008 cited this link alread in 2012, see here (post # 10): DRB (Reichsbahn/Railways) Headgear Thread

It is an M-38 (dark blue) visor worn by EM/NCO ranks.
Technically, it should have a leather chinstrap.

Can´t get into that thread. How could I?by stonemint
Here a photograph of the darker visor with the lighter colored pipings,
which actually should be lighter greyish. Bahnschutz headgear will be
explained in volume 6 for the series "Headgear of Hitler's Germany".
Quite some photographs will be included, the shown one also!

Did you score the visor?
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
If I recall correctly, this cap went for 420 euros ( plus 17% ), which seems like a pretty good price.

I agree, good price, but probably takes into account the incorrect chincord.
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
?? maybe I am not correct, but what is wrong with the chincord?
