This piece has the name tag of the owner sewed inside. Salty cap. Flea markets have been dry around here (NY). It's nice to have a forum to show some pieces. Thanks....Frank

Nice cap.
Nice score. From a purely aesthetic perspective, I always thought orange looked best on Police uniforms.

Looks very nice, doesn't look salty to me.
Welcome to the forum!

"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Very attractive overseas cap. The cloth is a higher quality and I like the name tag, a feature one does not often see in side caps.
That may be true, but you've got to love a color called "poison green" (giftgruen)!by stonemint
Poison green (lol), I wonder what descriptive term they gave for orange? Thank you all...Best Regards, Frank
I do not know where you got the expression giftgrün from?
In official regulations and the Ministerialblatt the green piping color is
phrased simply as hellgrün (RMBliV, 1937. Number 29, page 859-860 for example)
for Schutzpolizei des Reiches and weinrot for Schutzpolizei der Gemeinden.
Gendarmerie was just as orange
Gendarmerie-Bereitschaften as weiss
Gemeindepolizei as weinrot
Feuerschutzpolizei as karmesin
Verwaltungspolizei as hellgrau.
Further existed for Abzeichentuch the colors:
kornblumenblau for Medizinalbeamte
schwarz for Veterninärbeamten
gelb for Wasserschutzpolizei and
hochrot for Verkehrsbeamte
All of these colors are included in the Polizei-Bekleidungsvorschrift (PBklV), III. Teil: Uniform-
Anfertigunhsvorschrift from July 14, 1939. The word giftgrün is not anywhere included.
I guess this word is an "invention" from dealer's from the USA and UK. It sounds so pretty, isn't?
v/nice cap.
