SS Polizei runes

[wessel]

I read with interest the thread on the Standartenfuhrer tunic, and the application of runes to the lower pocket. It made me consider my own Polizei tunic and its runes.
I would welcome any comments as to originality/sewn originality. Thanks.

The enabling directive from Himmler set to location of the runes to be 1cm under the seam of the left breast pocket, approximately halfway under the left half of the pocket. As I remarked in my article, such exact positioning seemed difficult to carry out from viewing pictorial evidence. And in cases such as your tunic, a location would have been dictated by the positions of medal loops.
