Polizei-Mitgliedsnadel

The German Police was divided into several branches, including the Schutzpolizei (City Police) and the Gendarmerie (Rural Police). Members wore these specific membership pins on their civilian attire to show their professional affiliation. The bronze-colored eagle was typically associated with the Gendarmerie or specific lower ranks within the police administration.
