If that is blue in the shoulder boards then they are post war. I cannot comment on the cuff title but there is a huge amount of fakes of these on the market today. the eagle looks good to me though.

nick, I have to disagree about a large amount of fakes out there on this cuff-title. most people believe this because this particular cuff-title is the most common and seen up for sale the most. they also always (and should ) look very minty. this is because although they were authorized and produced for the sole rank of oberzugfuhrer they were never issued. the bahnschutz used a band for gruppenfuhrer to oberzugfuhrer that had aluminum wire letters on black cloth background with a 4mm aluminum border. the reason you see these up for sale often is a large stash of these was found in koln germany about ten years ago.

I couldn't agree more. There are not a huge amount of fakes. These titles are so few and far between that when you see one you assume it is fake. Besides there is hardly any collecting interest in the "ride the rails cops.'

Shoulder boards are 100 percent post war BRD Bahnschutzpolizei - missing number and gray underlay on black one is significant. See
http://www.tenzor.cz/lbsr/dr/uf/sch_pol-wchtm.html
The second thing is "meister" form of shoulder boards. In reputable sources (B.L. Davis, Uniformen-Markt) are not these shoulder boards shown. In rank chart http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=255988 aren't these shoulder boards shown too.
I personally don't believe that these "meister" shoulder boards were used in TR Bzp

Thanks for the comments guys! I'll go ahead and replace the meister boards with a war time (lower) rank!
The eagle is 100% and the cuff title is 100%, I have no doubts about those
and actually even the shoulder boards are not repro... just not WW2
(I did not pay a "WW2" price for these shoulder boards so no harm done!)
Here is the whole range of cuff titles including mine, borrowed from a Polish web site!
I appreciate the input!

It is good

Your cuff-title is very nice, here is my uniform removed.
