Nice pieces.

I love the first pattern polizei cap insignia.
Notice the cut through between the legs and the thick prongs.

Thanks,I used to have a fire officers cap with a first pattern eagle,stupidly I let it go in the old Kent arms auction,but back in the eighties they did not fetch much money then.John

John,

The solid backed first pattern is more desirable.
There's a thread by Dave Cameron on the polizei forum.

Nice eagles! Have to saw that I've never seen prongs like that before on the first pattern, very interesting. Below is a link to that thread Mil. mentioned.

Dave, indeed slightly off-variant with thick prongs.
I also noticed that they are not brass prongs.

Mil,Dave,thanks for the link.I've never seen a solid eagle before and the thread reminded me I had a shako eagle which I had placed on a post war shako,it is unmarked.John

Great adlers....

John,

Most Tshako eagles are marked CTD, JSF or by Assmann.
Unmarked ones are rather common as well.
You've got a good one, so nothing to worry.

Ron, Oh Yes B&N, but never seen JMO.

B&N is a fairly less common make from what I have observed.

JMO 38 - Same set up?

Eujin,

Another one.........

Ron,

I've not come across this make before.
Many thanks for posting. It never surprises me to learn new information everyday.
