German Police Beret Hat with Original Insignia

German Police Green Beret

This is a genuine German police beret in dark green wool, fitted with its original gold-tone police star badge. Green was the traditional color of German police uniforms, so the beret is a solid piece for collectors of European law enforcement headgear, reenactors building a period uniform, and anyone who wants authentic issued kit instead of a costume piece.

Features

• Dark Green Wool Body — The crown is wool felt, which holds its shape when shaped and pulled over to one side in the usual beret style.
• Original Police Star Insignia — A gold-tone multi-pointed star badge sits on the front, with an enameled coat-of-arms shield at its center.
• Black Sweatband Trim — A black band runs around the head opening to finish the edge and sit comfortably against the forehead.
• Fully Lined Interior — A dark lining covers the inside of the crown for a cleaner fit over the hair.
• Maker's Label — The inside carries a printed label from Lunzenauer Mützen GmbH, a German cap maker, along with a year mark.
• Metric Size Tag — Each beret has a size number on the label, given in centimeters of head circumference as German issue headgear is sized.
• Genuine Issued Headgear — This is government-contract German gear with its original badge, not a commercial fashion beret.

Maker And Sizing

The beret was made under contract by Lunzenauer Mützen GmbH, and the interior label shows the maker's name, a year, and the size. German headgear sizes are head circumference in centimeters, so measure around your head just above the eyebrows and compare that number to the size on the label. The badge comes already mounted on the front, the way it was worn in service.
