Police officer portraits show thread

[Gerd W.]

Colorized pic of what appears to be a Verwaltungspolizei officer.....

I love those colorized photos

[Gerd W.]

Kommunal Wachtmeister, note the black armband (maybe he lost a relative short time before)

Gerd, another great photo, way to keep this thread alive and well

Just the other day I actually added a new photo, from estand here, and one that fits in my niche...

[Gerd W.]

Great photo Dave

Would like to see more TR additions here............!!!

My photo of the day is a Landgendarm with his K9.
K9 looks like one of the "new" Dobermann Pinschers (new in 1910 ).

[Gerd W.]

In 1900 Dobermann Pinschers were not in the first row of beeing K9 dogs.............. too rough

here are some period views

Feldgendarmerie wedding, this came from a set belonging to the man in the centre, by coincidence I later found very similar wedding portraits of the man on the left too :

Helden,

Nice to see a photo of the Bavarian Gendarm wearing the 1934 cap eagle and the 1936 swastika belt with his earlier uniform. These transitional photos are great for small details.

Nice ebay NCO portrait

[Mil-Archive]

This is from a Polizei Bataillon 205 album torn apart on ebay recently. I managed to get some of them. If anyone knows whoever got the rest I'd be interested to hear.

Those SS Polizei ones above are fantastic !!

Got this knights cross winner in today, unusually worn through the button holes of the jacket, if it was not for the long loop of the cross holding onto the ribbon it could have easily been mistaken for a second class cross. Anyone know who he is??
