Strange Photo on ebay(POLICE FELDJÄGERKORPS)

laoshi75 · 07-25-2015, 06:31 PM

Hello Gentlemen, this photo on ebay.fr seems very strange to me:
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/WW2-UNITE-POL...item4881631968
The seller says it is from a WW2 Police unit. The officer on the left side is wearing a Reichsrevolver if I am not mistaken. Also, the two so-called "Luger P38 holsters" (sic) do not seem to be Police holsters...Any comment please ?
Thank you.

Well, I don't see any swastika's so I would say its 20 to early 30's.

I've seen lots of 'army' holsters switched to police style, so would guess some stayed, and I'm not sure off the top of my head when they switched to all police.

And the uniforms on the right have more of a WW1 / Weimar feel to them.

With those rifles and no ubiquitous picture of Hitler, sure looks pre-1930.

The men on the left are wearing old uniforms and are carrying Reichsrevolvers and Muskets. The men on the right are wearing "new" uniforms and are carrying lugers and Gew.98 rifles. These Feldjaeger are mirror images and are probably from the WWI period and not the NS Zeit.

I thought the same thing. This may be a photo to celebrate the "Transition" from the old to the new uniforms and equipment.
