    Forestry Service Shoulder Boards.

    Are both of these for the rank of Oberforstmeister, the green velvet backing for State Forestry Service, the brown for Public Forestry Service?

      Forestry Branch Colors - Waffenfarbe

      Hi Liegh,

      Nice Shoulder boards!

      There are four documented Branch colors used by the Forestry Service of the III Reich:

      Grey - Army Forestry Service

      Black - Luft Forestry Service

      Green - State Forestry Service

      Brown - Private Forestry Service

      It's common the see a mismatch between the collar tabs and boards of Forestry uniforms as these personnel were often transferred wherever they were needed most.

      The Generalgouverment had their own Forestry service which was a cross between Foresters & Gendarmerie. They wore Forestry style collar patches with a secondary piping of Orange.

        Nice to see you got them! They are Majors tabs if I'm not mistaken with one acorn. Very nice.

          Thanks for the replies, I'm picking up a few of these pieces but don't know much about them.
          I've picked up a few more shoulder boards & collar patches (LW, Forsetry & Customs) today so I'll scan them & post them with a request for more info.

            Hi there!
            The green pair is for a Revierfoerster (Regulation of 1942)and the silver pair for a Forstmeister (Regulation of 1938).
            The colours are:
            grey: community Forest Svc.
            black: Army AND Air Force
