Interesting Schirmmutze

Here's an interesting schirmmutze!
A civilmutze or Polizei mutze pattern Wehrmacht cap!
Note grommets!

G'day Nick.

A most interesting photo.

Having noted the smooth, shiny buttons and possible piping around the tunic's collar and front, is there a possibility that this chap was in a landespolizei unit absorbed into the army. Like the early Regt Gen Goring personnel, he's added the new insignia to his police tunic and cap.

Just a theory.

All the best, Mike.
