Hello Dave,

With police, this has nothing to do.

It's more Deutsche Jugend/Hitlerjugend or Kinderlandverschickung.

It is certainly not police.

Best regards,
Erich

Hello Erich,
Thanks for the info mate! I wonder what on earth made me think it was police??

Perhaps a few bottles of beer..............

Hi Dave, perhaps the eagle design is what made you think that? I think they were used on Prussian police warrant discs?

Cheers, Ade.

The manufacture doesn't look like a period piece--it looks like a UK piece from the 80s to me. Period signs are generally on a thicker piece of metal with a more distinctive convex 'bow'.

I believe Eric may be correct about this sign being a reproduction. These metal signs have been heavily reproduced in Europe and this one does not have the detail I would expect from a period sign. Another thing about this sign is that it conveys no information; it has no office designation or explain anything like one would expect a sign to do. It does not fulfill the basic purpose of a sign, it only has a rather poorly rendered eagle on it.

Thanks to everyone for the help!!....oh well never mind,this will go back in the collection just as a backdrop.

Thanks again.
