Inspector of Bahnpolizei uniform from the 50s

[Guardian 5]

The gloves. The DB for Deutshce Bundesbahn is readily visible on the snap fasteners at the wrists.

Nice pick-up altogether, but those gloves are fantastic!

Congratulations Gordon.

TJ,

Thanks for the comments on the gloves. It is the litle accessories like this that make the set. As you are aware, things like this don't often accompany a uniform. Here are some pictures of the boots. A little hint here to help preserve your boots in an inexpensive manner. I stoff the foot, up to the ankle, with newspaper then put a large plastic pop bottle in the shaft of the boots to hold them upright. Cheap and dirty but it worls!

Regards,

Gordon

The small belt and buckle on the side. Typical of West German boots.

The rubber heels and soles complete with a hole in the bottom. Put there previously when the uniform was on a mannequin.
