Original German WWII Metropolitan Police Shako with Leather Chin Strap by Hans Römer
-
Original Item: This is a very nice 1936 Officers pattern Tschako with police green wool body and black trim. It has a very fine quality police officer eagle with simulated bullion wire aluminum cockade with black leather chinstrap. Higher ranks would have a scaled chin strap. A great Polizei helmet (shako) as used by the metropolitan police, unlike some of the more common ones found trimmed in brown for rural police, this one is with black trim for the municipal police.
Interior is excellent, leather is supple and shows only light age, probably a size 55-56cm. Maker marked on inner dome top with maker decal:

Vents are perfect condition with working slide closure on both sides. The field green felt exterior has suffered a bit of moth damage to the fabric nap, but nothing major. Overall it is offered in very good condition from one of Germany's best manufactures of the time. Ready to display!
