I know these are police patches, anything else you guys can tell me about them? Do they look original? What is their approximate value? Vet's family asked me for help in identifying and pricing some of his items, but I know next to nothing about patches. Thanks!

Hi Vadim,Originally posted by Vadim K
Ordnungspolizei (ordnance) police patches are quite common, however the ones you show appear to be in nice condition. I know guys who try to get every city possible, I know some are harder to get than others.
IMO the best patch you show is the lightweight one for HBT or denim police uniform. These are harder to find than the wool versions. The last time I checked these were in the $40.-50 range. Hope this helps, Jeff A"Great hunter yes! great fisherman yes! fine figure of a man yes! that is all you need to know" Jeremiah Johnson.Comment

Jeff, thanks for the info. I did not know about the lightweight patches being more rare.
Anyone else has any input?

These indeed seem to be genuine examples of Schutzpolizei sleeve-eagles.
If you ever decide to sell I am interestedComment

Vadim, they look good from what I can see. If your friends decide to sell, I would really be interested in the one from Frankfurt as that is where I was born.

Vadim K:
The Schutzpolizei (green eagle/wreath) sleeve insignia posted seem to be nice original examples. The example with mottled backing for Kassel is a scarcer example, although ANY original example is becoming hard to find! As for approximate value, I would say $45-75 range is applicable. If they’re to be sold, I would be most interested.Interested in the Gendarmerie - Schutzpolizei - Gemeinden - Feuerschutzpolizei - Wasserschutzpolizei - Etc.
