Reichsbahn officer's chin cord, blue and gold bullion - German
Commissioned German Railway personnel wore this on a conflower blue, red-piped cap with a black velvet band. A gilt Reichsadler and winged wheel cockade completed the outfit. The ORs version had a simple black leather strap like the Army.

HJ side cap, summer issue - German
This is the summer issue cap of the Hitler Youth, worn on route marches and ordinary service duty. These are rarely seen today, as they are the earliest examples of the HJ, pre-dating the RZM tagged examples of 1935 and later, which had the HJ diamond (missing here) as a device as well as the Party eagle. The red piping indicates standard HJ issue.

Water protection police officer's side cap - German
The Wasserschutzpolizei (WSP) were responsible for such duties as the policing of harbours, inland river ways and canals. This slightly scruffy example (several moth holes) of a rare side cap has blue rayon lining, a dark blue cloth body gold bullion piping.

Ordnungspolizei officer's peak cap - German
Unusual example, being essentially a Weimar period cap (green band as opposed to brown) with 3rd Reich 1936 pattern insignia. Maker mark Alkero, dot punched into leather sweat band. Vaguely legible name on paper insert. This cap has had extensive field use and shows comensurate wear and tear.

Luftwaffe tank crew ski cap - German
The black ski cap was commonly used by Luftwaffe ground crew. The Hermann Goering Division variant had white piping to the crown. This is a clean example with no interior markings. The cockade fluoresces under UV lamp, so could possibly be a replacement. It is otherwise in excellent condition.
