The tunic, approximate size 38S, features dark green wool collar, two upper and two lower pockets with pocket flaps, turn-back cuffs and pebbled aluminum buttons.  The collar patches and shoulder straps have been removed from the tunic, however an undated photograph of the original owner which is included with the grouping, shows him wearing the rank of an Oberforstmeister.  The interior of the tunic is lined in Forestry green artificial silk complete with the original tailor’s label marked, “UNIFORMHAUS CARL WEYERS, Köln”.
