What is the code for these? I just went to the Copplestone site and they don't appear, either as New Releases or as part of the Gangster collection.
They are nice.
I know there are French police available. I have the reference somewhere but it's too much trouble to find at the moment. Plus the old Visa is maxed out for the month.
I wish someone would bring out German style police with the funny hat they wear.
British Bobbies can carry over from all the Victorian sets at a pinch, although the cut of the uniform was different by the 1920's.

Sorry but the German police rarely wears pickelhauben today.  :lol:

I think it is more the jager type hat. And since we are, I hope, talking Pulp, I am thinking inter-war period. So that collapsed front  semi-kepi thing they wore, with the green uniforms.

I think, originally the sign was meant to ward off 'the evil eye'... somehow somebody mistook it for a 'Satan-sign' (the 'horns'..?) and it has been used by death metal bands and satanists ever since....

Yep, those are the ones. Sorry but not getting to the computer until after a very pleasant night with friends, which included a few very nice bottles of wine made me lazy!

The question still remains, does anyone have a source for the German police with that collapsed front cap and the green uniforms?
I have mentioned on other topic lists I am looking at Freikorps era, ie 1919-1920's so the police for that era would be very appropriate.
