"WWII German Forestal Coat"

[materialwharf3]

Hey everyone! I'm back with another question. While looking at eBay, I stumbled upon this coat. The seller called it a "Forestal coat" but I really don't know what it is. Should I try to get it? I just want to know if it is worth it to bid on it (as I am going to bid on another item from this guy, I figured I might see what else he has) here is the link: m.ebay.com/itm/ww2-German-Forestal-Coat-/332340983529?hash=item4d6110f6e9%3Ag%3AFnIAAOSwbopZUoMe&_trkparms=pageci%253A03c72f83-8443-11e7-8d2d-74dbd180605d%257Cparentrq%253Af69a6cef15d0ab6b4482da91ffff6706%257Ciid%253A2
Should I go for it? I might just try to get it because it would ship to me just a few days after my birthday. Thanks!

I think what he's got there is a Reich Forestry Service tunic. From what I've been able to find with Google they used acorns and oak leaves in their insignia and acorns for their rank. They were part of the German police and were organized by Herman Goering in 1935. Goering was a big hunter (in more ways than one).

Thanks! So do you think it would be worth it to get?

I have no idea. It doesn't really work for any German impression that would fit in a game, except maybe a volkssturm member from the end of the war.

I'd probably get it to collect it rather than wearing it to go airsofting. Just one last question. Is this an original coat? The seller says it was bought in a flea market, and I don't know of anyone making repro forestry service tunics.
