Fire Police Tunic Real or Fake

[klinger]

I got this Fire Police Tunic just need to know if Real or Fake?

All insignias are off just one unknown patch as shown, but what does this patch mean?

You buy this off of EBAY? I saw it and passed on it. If I had to guess, I would say its post-war but I might be wrong. The pockets look wrong. Is there any makers marks?

It's for thirty years of service with a Bavarian volunteer fire brigade. This is a post-war insigne and still used today.
See here for Bavarian firefighters' uniform regulations; the service stripes are on page 17:

I hadn't known that; that would mean these insignia were abolished when fire brigade uniforms were standardized throughout Germany in the Third Reich era and then re-introduced in the post-war years.
Out of personal interest; can you post the link to the site you mentioned?

There would be evidence of a WW2 eagle added as the pre-war tunics were used for quite some time. Some were still wearing them at the end of the war. Is there evidence of a sleeve eagle?
