Paul,

Very nice Volkspolizei patches. The Betreibsschutz were the industrial (factory) police and wore this patch when assigned to factory protection. Here is an example of a Volkspolizei NCO uniform with this arm patch.

Closeup view of the patch in wear. This NCO has 15 years of service as indicated by the three chevrons on his lower right sleeve.

Interestingly, before they wore this patch the Betriebsschutz wore a sleeveband. Here is an example of a Volkspolizei Officer uniform with a sleeveband. Notice that the collar tabs and shoulder boards are different from the NCO tunic shown above.

Closeup view of the Betriebsschutz sleeveband in wear. Also, notice that this earlier uniform does not have green piping around the collar and the cuffs as is proper.

Very nice patches!
