Bremen Police Shako Cap Badge

Germany > German Empire > Headgear >

Here we have a Bremen Police Shako Cap Badge. I believe this is from the Weimar period. It is made out of a die stamped tombak base that has been heavily silver washed and contains red enamel paint work. The obverse features the middle coat of arms of Bremen (A silver Key on a red circular backing) to the center surrounded by an oak leaf and acorn wreath and a rope type pattern, all with rays coming out of it. The reverse shows a hollow back with four prongs which hold the center piece in place and two soldered on male screw devices with their appropriate washers and nuts. Nice paint and silver wash remain. I cannot ship this by the $5 option so please don't pick it.
