Slightly scruffy example (several moth holes) of rare side cap, Wasserschutzpolizei. Blue rayon lining, dark blue cloth body, piped with gold bullion.

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.
