identification request on 1957 Koblenz trousers

[chiffonnier]

for me an unidentified black wool trousers,cotton lining with markings.
for you perhaps easy to identify.
I've tried to read the markings ;
GH geprüft
Br G St koblenz.
my guess was early feuerwehr,however I can't relate those markings to that.
any information would be welcome.

kees,

More mysteries! I have never seen markings like this before. Early pants though as they are dated 1957. I'll have to have a look at whatever I have in mycollection about BRD Feuerwehr and see if there is anything like this.

Regards,

Gordon

Feuerwehr is a good guess. We don't know much about 1940s and 1950s items except for BW and BGS. I've not been able to get identification of a Polizei uniform from 1956 that is obviously a Polizei uniform

BW pants

they might be early BW as the pants were dark grey

This looks a little too dark to be BW. Plus, the stamps are not consistent with BW markings for that time and private purchase would not have ink stamps. As far as I know the early BW trousers were more on the gray side and had a little covered pocket just below the belt on the right side of the fly. I'm pretty sure they didn't have metal buckle adjustments for the waist either.

Besides FW, which I still think is a good guess, there is also Hamburg Polizei. They used a black uniform throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Many Polizei forces changed their uniforms around 1960-1963 from earlier designs, so that opens up some possibilities I think.
