Pictured here is an example of the Reich's Forestry staff holster for a 6.35mm pistol which, although unmarked, is thought to be issued with this holster. I have no knowledge of a marked Forestry pistol but everything has not been identified either correctly or discovered for that matter so further research is in order on this subject. There were three major Forestry organizations within the Third Reich with the Reich Forestry being the major element followed by the Luftwaffe which had its own Forestry element as did the Wehrmacht. The Luftwaffe hunting/gaming regulations which were developed in conjunction with the Forestry initiative are still in effect , unchanged since initial introduction by Goring. Another green holster example in 7.65mm is known which is thought to be the field issue.
