Description
A nice example of a Polizei visor cap eagle produced in aluminum. Reverse is complete with two prongs. Interesting about this example is one prong is aluminum and another is brass. An unusual eagle that is likely unissued. Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, was named Chief of German Police in the Interior Ministry on 17 June 1936. Traditionally, law enforcement in Germany had been a state and local matter. Himmler gained authority as all of Germany’s uniformed law enforcement agencies. The police were divided into the Ordnungspolizei (regular police) and the Sicherheitspolizei (security police). The Ordnungspolizei assumed duties of regular uniformed law enforcement (including fire brigades) while the SiPo consisted of the secret state police known as the Gestapo and criminal investigation police.
