Meaning of M.P.U.??

[Don Bible]

Do any of you old-time Kreigsmarine collectors know of an organization possibly responsible for local security or safety in or around German port cities, known by the initials M.P.U. The letters are possibly associated with an organization responsible for security at navy courts or perhaps civilian maritime courts? The organization seems to have been created locally in port cities, and does not appear to have been a of a national scope.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Don!

Have you run across a new disc with these initials? Would you consider running a scan of it?

thanks

Police-type medals which appear to be authentic, and which are stamped with those initials are known. They may have been used for official identification. The ones seen carry the names of seaport cities, but of a local police nature...not standardized...except for the initials M.P.U.

I do not own one of the pieces, nor do I have photographs, which I can post. Sorry.
