More Volkspolizei stuff!

[Jb4046]

Ok sorry for almost spamming this sub section but this morning i had my last delivery arrive!

From GermanDotMilitaria i got a Helfer der Volkspolizei armband and some early VoPo collar tabs. Overall i am quite happy with the volkspolizei stuff i have now. Next thing for me might be to get a tunic. I think i will need to get some late collar tabs as well just so i can learn about them.

I was quite happy to get this armband, I remember seeing they started making fake ones so i thought i should definitely get one now and not later.

Hopefully you guys are not tired of VoPo stuff yet!

Nice finds. As always, a refreshing change from the endless parade of TR militaria. (Not that that's a bad thing, of course!)

I like to collect those first pattern collar tabs, I also have the same pair. Lovely!

i will definitely have to look out for more of them!

Do other branches have First pattern collar tabs with blue backing cardboard?

Yes, that would be transportpolizei. Example below:

I meant the actual cardboard is blue! But thanks for showing me another example of these early tabs

Oh sorry. Yeah, the color of the backing cardboard varies, but it's usually either white, brown or light blue.
