Opinion on Police Brocade

[W.Unland]

Hello,

Anyone have any experience with 2nd pattern police brocade belts? If so might I ask your opinion about the one shown here:

I have never owned one and am curious, in case I should come across one.

I have two, and the stiching he mentions is the same on mine. Looks good.

Bill, I only have one example to go from and it doesn't reflect that stiching trait. I'm sure cnstruction variation exist.

Perhaps it is a design quirk of the permanent buckle variety. I still have two regular SS-Pol.Fuhrer Feldbinde and one for Wasserschutzpolizei, but all three have the leather adjustment tabs for attaching buckles. I had one or two of the buckle attached types since sold, but I can't remember the stitching. May I suggest that it perhaps was a result of difficulty in running the sewing machine up to the buckle cross piece over which the brocade belt was doubled. Do the ones pictured above have the paper SS acceptance tags?

Dear Joe,

There is paper residue from where the RZM tag was removed, or worn off.

Thanks,
