WWII GERMAN BERLIN POLICE SHAKO
This is the jet-black shako of the Berlin Police. These were the men of the Schupo (Schützpolizei). The Shupos were known as Die Blauen, the Blues. The helmet was the distinctive piece of police headgear carried over from the Landespolizei. The body is black Vulcan fiber with a black, lacquered flattop and front and back visor with pressed rim. A 16-mm black leather chinstrap (enlisted) with aluminum buckles for strap adjustment attached as well. Top is missing some thread and has small crack. Badge is marked 1937 S.R.M. A new shako was introduced with the 1936-pattern uniform. It retained the same style and characteristics, but had a police-green uniform cloth covering the body of the helmet. But the traditional black Vulcan fiber shako continued to be worn in some police precincts as late as 1940, but, of course, the Prussian shield had to be replaced by the NS national eagle and swastika. The black police shako is decidedly rarer than the later cloth-covered models; especially with the Nazi Police shield affixed.
