GERMAN GREEN POLICE BERET LIKE NEW

Originally issued to German state police forces, this green wool beret is the genuine article — a piece of authentic European police uniform kit, sourced through surplus channels in like-new condition. The forest-green crown, black leather sweatband, and Saxon state police cap badge make it instantly recognisable to collectors, reenactors, and uniform enthusiasts, while the clean construction and crisp shaping make it equally appealing to customers who simply want a well-built wool beret with real provenance.

Authentic German Police Issue

The interior label identifies the maker as Uniformmützenfabriken Albert Kempf KG, a long-established German uniform cap manufacturer based in Ödmiesbach. The metal cap badge on the front displays the Saxony state coat of arms set within a rayed police star — the issue insignia of the Sachsen Landespolizei. Inside, a clear name-card pocket sits above a satin-style lining, exactly as supplied to serving officers.

Construction & Materials

• Wool felt crown in deep forest green with a clean, structured shape
• Genuine leather sweatband trimming the entire opening for comfort and shape retention
• Adjustable rear drawcord with twin tail ribbons for a personalised fit
• Satin-finish lining with integrated name-card window
• Metal Saxon police cap badge pinned to the front panel
• Maker's label from Albert Kempf KG, Germany

Who It Sells To

This beret moves well with several customer groups at once: militaria and police-memorabilia collectors chasing authentic Bundesländer-issue pieces, reenactors and uniform hobbyists building accurate kits, and fashion-leaning shoppers who appreciate a real wool beret with European tailoring over a costume-shop knockoff. The deep green pairs naturally with field jackets, peacoats, and earth-tone outerwear for a clean utilitarian silhouette.

Condition

Supplied in like-new surplus condition. As with any genuine issue item, small variations in shade, badge finish, or labelling may occur between examples — this is part of the character of authentic government-supplied gear, not a defect.
