Aber meine Deutsch ist nicht gut.

I ran portions of the German word "Kripoangehoerige" through Google translate. "Kripo" = "Criminal Investigation Department", "ange" = "set"/"designation", Hörige = serf (German) ["hoerige" = "slutty" (Dutch)]

Makes me think it was issued to women who were detectives or cadets. With the shoulder strap, it looks more like a purse than anything else!
