    Default Gendarmerie uniform? Strange

    Hi there,

    I can buy this Gendarmerie uniform.
    The seller has send me some general pictures, and I saw this 'Gendarmerie' uniform.
    It looks very strange to me.

    Is this a correct uniform, or is something wrong?
    This is a type I have not seen yet.

    Thanks in advance,

    Willem

    It looks like a police summer tunic fitted with FGA insignia. The sidecap is police sidecap, not Feldgendarmerie.

    The sidecap was just to put something on
    But you recognize the style of uniform?
    That's great!

    It looks very similar to this, minus the French cuffs:

    It's a doctored early postwar (West) German police tunic. Quite a common occurence with such 65+ year old tunics made of the same pre-1945 lightweight fabric in the distinctive "Polizei" colour. I had afew over the years.

    No mention of F e l d gendarmerie in this thread. An orange piped sidecap would have properly matched this tunic, had the latter be wartime. BTW, the Gendarmerie w a s a Police branch.
