A great collection, thanks for allowing me to see it.

Chief82,

Thank you for the information. If I am able to come up with any info on your Göring bust I will let you know.

This is an interesting Hunting Association piece. It is not maker marked but the reat treat is the dedication--"From one rooster to another." Northern France 1941.

The Dedication

A Gaujagermeister tunic of heavy cotton or poplin with Bullion Collar leaves and sleeve patch.

Here my Revier- Oberforst -Meister tunic , it is named on the inside pocket by the tailor to location and owner .

..and a close-up .

This ribbon bar came with the tunic and is sewn on as not to move or be taken off the tunic !

..and an other close-up for your enjoyment .

Thanks Bernd, Thats a great tunic. What can you tell us about the Forster Medal with the Prussian eagle?

This badge was issued like for game wardens to arrest pouchers ,etc. My badge at one time had a refective paint on the scroll, mostly gone now ; backside is hollow casting with long vertical pin .
The best part was, that I found it like 15 years ago in a basket on a dealer's table at a gun show that was marked " Any item for $ 5 "!
There are some variations of this badge ; it was discussed on the WHA FORUM .

Bernd,

You've really put together a great collection of DJ tunics and uniforms and it's always a pleasure to see such aesthetic items of this type of quality.

Chief - I'm fairly certain there was also a good thread that we had going on Houston's forum some time ago, regarding the Feld u. Forst Hüter insignia. If you go through some of the older threads I'm sure you'll find it. I think it had some great photos of the variant
badges.

Good hunting!

Bill

I'm mainly a tunic colector, and as yet have nothing by way of Forestry and/or Hunting, but do have a couple of relevant visors from my previous 'habit'.
The most unusual is this Luftwaffe Forestry visor, with green band and piping. The maker is Michovious of Cottbus. I've never seen another one and I wonder if any of you guys have?

...interior. I think at one time it had a metal ****ade as there are 2 holes, but the bullion ****ade now on is very high quality.

...sorry!

Nice visor--I have not seen one like it but it looks good in every way. I was not unusual to upgrade/modify uniforms. Thanks.

Could anyone please tell me the rank of this tunic.

I've given him some awards!

Great display. Thanks for sharing with us.

Tristan,

Nice looking tunic and cap, thanks for adding it to the thread. This gentleman would have been an Oberlandforstmeister.

Best!

Bill

Thanks, guys.

A new addition..same rank as before but with army/forestry eagle.

collar is of green doeskin.

eagle.

Great thread and I really enjoy viewing all the Hunting Assoc. items, although I have to admit that I'm a bit lost when it comes to forestry, although still fascinating to view!

This is an interesting Tunic. It is Prussian Forestry. The buttons show the Prussian Eagle, but with a tiny Third Reich swaz in the center.
