Mounted Polizei

[Horst]

As there is no Polizei forum and as we all know the Polizie was part of the SS I thought it appropriate to post this here - reflected in the picture is a mounted Schutzpolizist complete with saddle,parade blanket and sword & sword frog which is a hard to find item.

Whats in that big leather box on the front under the canteen?

The saddles is not a rare item in Estonia, a couple of years ago there was a lot of them available in antik shops, due of farmers use the good stuff like that post war
But in USA I think must be rare, due of hard weight for wet bring back
