Re: WW2 German army jacket?
Looks like Forestry. Close up of collar and place where patch was removed plus some internal shots would help. NH

Re: WW2 German army jacket?
Okay I shall try & get some better photos for you guys.
When it comes to German/Third Reich stuff I am a rank amateur. Exactly who were the Forestry people?
I only suspected it was German after coming accross this website, as the jacket looks very similar in colour to the one on the top:
German Uniforms
Cheers as always for the prompt replies.

Re: WW2 German army jacket?
The uniform in the photo you referenced is a Heer (Army) uniform. They are similar but not quite the same as your example. It appears the collar on the jacket you have is the type seen on the Forestry uniform - one with an open collar style. I'm sure a couple of others will chime in once you post some more photos.

my vote is for the Forrestry Service on this one...

Re: WW2 German army jacket?
From what era?
As I said before German goods are not my specialty; and I can't really find much info on the German Forestry people.

German border police. There should be a label inside one of the bottom outer pockets, or quite far down the inside pocket. It will be white with red print, probably have an early 1960's date. The marks where shields have been are for district police departments. The jacket would have had epaulettes. If you look closly at the shoulders you will see where they were. When these jackets were sold they all had to be totaly stripped of insignia.

Re: WW2 German army jacket?
Thanks a lot!
In one of the outer pockets printed onto the lining was a label, marked 1962.
So I am guessing these are ten a penny and worth little?
