Gendarmerie Fever

[Dave C.]

All right Sarge, I'm finally digging out a little of my police collection since I have a new digital camera and I also wanted to drum-up more police collecting interest! My focus is on the Gendarmerie, go figure, and I would enjoy hearing what other have found!

To further Accessorize!

Here are a few loose pieces. I hope to get this stuff displayed well some day with the rest of loose bits and pieces I have scattered around.

Hey Gendarm, nice to see you posting some of your collection. Some of it I've seen, some of it I haven't. I'm looking for a municipal outfit, but everything I'm finding is rough. Since I only plan on picking up one as a representative piece, I want it to be a good one.

Let me know when you plan to make the trip east.

Gendarm,
Great collection. You obviously have spent a lot of time putting it together. I have always thought that police items were way under rated. A friend of mine just picked up a Police green saddle blanket, on each side it has a huge green police eagle sewn into it. really bizarre,and the first I had ever seen. Nice collection. Jeff A

Thanks for all the great comments! I’ve been playing in this hobby for 20+ years, gathering what good I could find and afford. I feel like I’ve finally put a little collection together that has developed to a degree of completeness! Glad to hear of all the interest here!

PD Sergeant: We’ll have to get together one of these days and review all the new items between us. I remember that you want a nice Schupo tunic, although I haven’t found an example I would recommend to you. In time one shall come available!

Mike Heuer: Your friend has good taste! Is that an edelweiss on the right sleeve? Does he also have the P-08 to accompany that fantastic brown holster? Super display, I need to work on some display ideas as at the moment my rags are hanging around…I’ll attaché a photo below.

To answer some questions: A Bergmütze is hiding behind the one visor on the left. Unfortunately, nothing but a Feldgendarmerie cuff title is in my collection, although I’ve been watching for a tunic!

I had a chance to photograph a few more police items mixed with other stuff the other day:
