Police officer portraits show thread

[Gerd W.]

sadly the seller sent me the wrong picture, less attractive IMHO (1 won the second, but got the first )

however, a cool looking officer

Here a Hauptmann out of Berlin. This officer is probably member of the 6. Inspektion, as there is a # 6 on his shoulder boards (such # are original for early Berlin Police forces).

Dono how they made this.....somekind of a hybrid (photo-drawing).

However, looks like a mounted Landgendarm

Not often seen are portraits of Gustav Krause, Polizeioberst and commander of the koenigliche Schutzmannschaft Berlin 1894-1905.
This is probably a very late portrait (he died 1907)

A lot of "Lametta" on his breast

The Last medal

Feuerwehr Officer:

Great Photo Stone Mint,

Do you or does anyone else know what this gentleman's last medal is on his medal bar. I have never seen one before!
Thank you,
Vince

Yes, great firemen portraits

I don´t collect these, but sometimes it´s hard to sort out what are fireman and what are police officers.

My addition are Imperial firemen officers out of Viersen ( first I thought they were Police Schutzmannschaft )...........anyway

It´s a Prussian Fire Brigade decoration for 25 years of service from the Weimar era. It was instituted in 1922.
