Yeah i got that, but what is it

A piece of metal. It has things written on it.

The things written on it are "Reichsfinanzverwaltung" (Imperial Financial Administration) and "Zollgrenzschutz" (Customs).
The Zollgrenzschutz actually wasn't a part of the Reichsfinanzverwaltung.
It can mean all sorts of things, depending on from when it is, because the Zollgrenzschutz changed substantially over the years. The duality it introduced in the police forces is also a testament to disgusting Nazi inefficiency, when compared to the Prussian and post-WW2 German administration.

I agree that Nazis tended to be literal scum.
