Klaus,
Why is this woman's uniform from Frankfurt when she wears the cap eagle from Nuremberg?

Because Nürnberg eagle is different. It has human head (of man, or woman sometimes), but the eagle of woman's cap is normal eagle head with crown. The sleeve patch is even clearer - white eagle is symbol of Frankfurt am Main. If compare closely with Nürnberg Stadtpolizei cap, difference is visible.Originally posted by Gordon Craig View Post

Found out from archived edition of Die Zeit the mention, that Frankfurt form a female Hilfspolizei in year 1960. This is earlier than most areas. They were only Politessen, to issue parking tickets. The city police units in Hessen were absorbed by Landespolizei starting 1967 as part of restructuring reforms. So the uniform is from 1960s, which I suspected.

You are a gentleman as always and I appreciate the care you took on my behalf, especially as it shed light on a poorly understood period of history.
Many thanks,

Good eyes. I thought that the one eagle was not formed correctly. Good info on the formation of the Female Hilfspolizei.

With some gentle prodding from my wife I started sorting through some boxes in the basement trying to make some room on the floor so she could get to the desktop in one corner. As usual, I found things I had forgotten I had so here goes with some fotos and discussion on the PP Berlin artifacts that came to light.
First up, an arm badge as worn by the Bereightschaftspolizei Berlin. This brown arm badge was worn on the two piece uniform during field training by units of the PP Brln.Comment

A piece of tableware used by PP Brln.Comment
-
A small pouch, marked to PP Brln, containing a rough piece of cloth. I do not have a reference to this pouch and cloth but it would seem that a reasonable use for this cloth would be to lay out pieces of a weapon that you were field stripping.Comment
-
The cloth and the markings on the pouch.Comment
-
A single leather G1 PP Brln marked magazine pouch and the belt clip that goes on the back of the belt. Someday I must get a mate to this magazine pouch.Comment
-
The markings on this G1 pouch and a single MP leather pouch. It is unmarked and I am not sure of the weapon it goes with but it has to go someplace and this is as good as any!Comment
-
The back of the MP pouch and a small pouch containing a rain cover for a visor cap. Colour of the pouch is right for PP Brln as is the blue trim around the outside of the rain cover.Comment
-
The back of the pouch for the rain cover and the cover itself.Comment
-
There is a small paper tag on the rain cover with a hand written 3 on it. Possible size indicator?Comment

I mentioned before that the PP Brln members wore a two piece brown field uniform. And I'll show a picture of it in wear shortly but they changed from a brown two piece field uniform to blue set of coveralls at a time unknown to me and here is what I believe to be a pair of the blue coveralls with a matching overseas cap. These coverall made just have been worn for duty around the barracks instead of in the field. I am still searching for a picture of them in wear.Comment
