need help! fire police Schirmütze

why the cap is only one red piping.

On this visor cap has always been located so the emblems.

IMHO, it is a postwar feurwehr cap with an added eagle. The adler should always be on the band, and Reich cockade on the peak (and this one has a state cockade).

Band also looks brown?

Hi

I was burnt on one of these a few years ago. Sold as fire police with correct eagle and red piping but it also had a brown band. Underneath the eagle very clearly in the paste board were two holes where the state cockade used to be. Mine also had the give away pekuro stamped in the sweat band.

I would also conclude this is post war......made the same way but post 45.

cheers

These are so difficult to judge. I'm leaning towards pre 45 with screwed up badges. Black velvet has a habit of appearing brown in some photos.
