Polizei NCO, private purchase cap?

[jamie7d7]

This attractive portrait shot from a photo shop in Posen sees a Schutzpolizei Wachtmeister wearing a smart cap. Trouble is I'm useless with cap identification so would appreciate assistance.

Hi Jamie..
The cap is called a polizei m43 cap..
Hope that this was the answer you were looking for!

Thank you Lt Col, I initially thought M43 but thought they had to have 2 buttons (as per the image for my username)

Cheers for clearing that up

They came in both styles, one button are just as original as two. cheers Tony

There is a nice thread on police caps here:

Polizei Headgear

and, as you are a paying member, you could take a look at lots of original police caps in the authentic cap section.

Jamie I have a one button and a two button version in my collection.

He's wearing the Bergmütze authorized in June 1936. During 1942 regulations ordered shape, piping and insignia to be modified.
Single-button caps are mountain caps, not "M43" caps. Period documentation is unambiguous further to this point.
