DDR Forst Uniform

Gents,

 

I thought I would show a high ranking DDR Forestry (Forst) Uniform that was given to me as a gift from a fellow collector.  The tunic is styled after the WWII Luftwaffe flight jackets with a concealed button front and shoulder boards showing rank with acorns instead of pips.  This  tailor made uniform came with his private purchase cap.  The cap was made by Emhage who was the successor to the premier wartime cap maker Erel.  The cap is Forestry green with dark green piping and an Officer chin strap.  The sewn on insignia consists of an aluminum bullion Officer style wreath with the standard metal DDR Wappen in the center.  The interior lining is officer quality and the sweat shield shows the maker name.
