The «Polizei Schirmmützenadler für Mannschaften 2. Modell» is a cap insignia worn as part of the uniform by Police units during the Third Reich.

The insignia was placed on top of the police cap and served as a distinctive element to identify members of the security forces.
This insignia is marked on the reverse with GGL, from the Gebrüder Glörfeld company of Lüdenscheid, a German manufacturer of medals and insignia during the Third Reich period.
