PROTECTIVE POLICE WACHTMEISTER'S UNIFORM
Rare uniform worn by a wachtmeister in the Ordnungspolizei in Linz, Austria, birthplace of Adolf Hitler. The black wool uniform bears six smooth-finish buttons at front, with four scallop-top buttons with identical buttons also in front. Sewn-in shoulder boards indicate the rank and silver bands indicate over four years service. Collar tabs are fancily sewn to lapel and absolutely original to the garment. A copper-colored bullion lanyard is also attached at front. The left shoulder bears green police insignia and the Linz city name at bottom. Within, the tunic is partially lined, mainly at shoulders. Overall in fine condition.
