Very nice Third Reich period time Gendarmerie officer's shako with parade bush.
Brown lacquered visors and top. Typical green felt covered shako body with minor moth bites. Correct officer's aluminum front badge which is a lot thicker as the EM/NCO pattern. Originally attached with the period time nuts. Matching patina to the aluminum chain attached to two aluminum rosettes.
Original loops for holding the horsehair bush in place still there. Typical hand-embroidered officer's "Feldzeichen" cockade. Black velvet backing.
Sweat-band and officer's liining from ripped sillk with signs of wear and age. EREL maker marked to the inside.
