[Schupo]

Some nice Gendarmerie (Rural Police) goodies guys.

Douglas, you have a good start with your insignia and medal bar. I particularly like Meister rank stuff as they were the Senior NCOs of the Polizei. And we all know that NCOs run these police and military organizations.

NCO, I love your early tunic with the light brown collar and cuffs. A Kreigs-Offizier (Wartime Officer) with the brown underlay to the orange piped shoulder boards.

Here is an example of the Schutzpolizei (Municipal Police) Kriegs-Offizier uniform in parade dress. This is a 1942 dated Schupo tunic that has the later dark brown collar and cuffs. It has brown underlay to the green piped shoulder boards. This one has an 18 Year Police service medal like the one you are interested in. I have also replaced the white leather police marked belt with an early brocade parade belt since I took this photo years ago.
