{"product_id":"germany-ordnungspolizei-a-schutzpolizei-shako-for-officer-ranks-with-parade-plume-g61236","title":"Germany, Ordnungspolizei. A Schutzpolizei Shako for Officer Ranks, with Parade Plume","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003ePolizei Tschako für Offiziere der Schutzpolizei\u003c\/em\u003e). An extremely well-preserved Schutzpolizei shako for Officer ranks, constructed of a sturdy vulcanfibre shell which is fully lined in classic police-green wool felt. The crown is topped by a layer of flattened black vulcanfibre in a classic “coffee can” style, and is flanked on each side by dual ventilation holes covered by non-magnetic metal mesh. A hollow channel set into the peak accommodates a period cockade, constructed of reinforced black doeskin base, with the cockade itself constructed of aluminum wire with a red wool centrepiece, measuring 40 mm (w) x 68 mm (h) emanating from a U-shaped post. Also inset into the channel is a silver-grey hair plume. Riveted to the peak is an aluminum Ordnungspolizei insignia in the form of a semi-circular oak leaf wreath overlaid by a German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 135 mm (w) x 80 mm (h). Two aluminum medallions flank the lower edge for the inclusion of a chinstrap, constructed of a blackened leather base topped by lobster tail-style aluminum chinscales. A protruding vulcanfibre visor and neck guard emanate from the front and back, respectively, and are finished in black on the obverse and in green on the reverse. The interior  features a scalloped light brown leather sweatband surrounding the side walls, with a two-piece retractable silver-grey rayon liner covering the crown. A size mark of “57” is stamped onto the sweatband. Otherwise unmarked, the shako measures approximately 19.5 cm (w) x 24 cm (l) x 16 cm (h). Demonstrating only minor signs of wear and fatigue, this scarce and untouched example remains in an extremely fine condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49812248264981,"sku":"G61236","price":832.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/eMedals_G61236_3.jpg?v=1773945938","url":"https:\/\/www.emedals.com\/products\/germany-ordnungspolizei-a-schutzpolizei-shako-for-officer-ranks-with-parade-plume-g61236","provider":"eMedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
