Description
At the outbreak of WWII, the German customs officials became more like border police, greater emphasis being placed upon border security. The responsibility of the Zolldienst was expanded to include border control of escaped prisoners of war, saboteurs, defectors, refugees, spies, etc.
Fantastic example of the T-shaped cap insignia worn by the German Customs Service (Zollassistent) Officials on their M43 caps. Fantastic looking eagle with clear signs of being period worn. Great piece of insignia!
