Germany, Schutzpolizei. A Municipal Police NCO’s Tunic By Steiner & Keller, ca.1942

(Schutzpolizei Dienstkleidung). This is an extremely well-preserved Schutzpolizei municipal police EM/NCO tunic constructed of a police green wool exterior with a complete cotton interior lining. The collar, constructed of smooth dark brown wool, is neatly lined from end-to-end with green Waffenfarbe piping, and is flanked by collar tabs. Constructed of green wool and bordered by twisted silver aluminum bullion wire, the tabs bear machine-embroidered silver wire rank insignia bearing green bands, indicating EM/NCO status, and measure 34 mm (w) x 78 mm (h). The shoulders are flanked by silvered, pebbled zink buttons. The upper left arm bears a sleeve insignia in the form of a machine-embroidered green thread Schutzpolizei-style German national eagle clutching a black mobile swastika on a grey wool background, measuring 90 mm (w) x 79 mm (h). The cuffs of both sleeves are constructed of dark brown wool, rolled up to a depth of 100 mm and securely stitched in place around the circumference, topped by green piping and each bearing two pebbled, silvered zink buttons. The breasts of the tunic each bear two pockets opening with a reinforced buttonhole meeting a pebbled, silvered zink button. The right breast has eight silvered zink buttons meeting an equal number of reinforced buttonholes on the left flap. All buttons on the tunic are stamped on the reverse with a maker’s mark of “G.E.B.R.W.L.” The lower reverse has a 285 mm vertical slit, edged with green piping, around which is set four pebbled, silvered zink belt hooks and two decorative buttons. The interior of the tunic is fully lined by a field grey cotton fabric, transitioning into a pinstripe design through the arms. The right interior breast is stamped with a maker’s mark of “Steiner & Keller G.m.b.H. Pol. 1942” with measurements “45, 69, 96, 75, 41”. The left interior breast bears two pockets, each opening with a reinforced horizontal slit, with the top pocket stamped with an illegible name. The interior of the collar bears two magnetic metal clasps meeting an equal number of hooks, allowing for a flush fit with the wearer’s neck. The tunic measures approximately 420 mm across the shoulders, with an arm length of 670 mm and a total body length of 820 mm, and is in an extremely fine condition.
