Item Description
Original Items: Only One Lot Available. The Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) was West Germany’s border guard force. While nominally a police force due to early Cold War limitations against West German rearmament, they had a distinctly paramilitary, almost Wehrmacht-like, appearance until the 1980’s, since they were expected to be the first responders to a potential Soviet invasion and to act as light infantry in such a case. Their distinctive camouflage uniforms were a reprint of the WW2 Sumpfmuster pattern, albeit in slightly different colorway. Despite the helmet’s associations with the NSDAP past, the BGS also used the Stahlhelm design for a time.
Splinter pattern camouflage is a military camouflage pattern consisting of polygons.
Splittermuster (German for splinter-pattern) was developed by Germany in the late 1920s. Splittermuster was issued to practically all Wehrmacht units. The pattern consists of a disruptive pattern of hard-edged polygons, with sharp corners between coloured patches. A random pattern of dashes was applied in places to improve the camouflage effect.
M90 camouflage is the camouflage pattern used by the Swedish armed forces for clothing and vehicles. The pattern employs hard lines of geometric shapes in order to create a camouflage pattern effective in the temperate forests and plains of Sweden. M90 camouflage comprises four colors: dark green, medium green, dark navy and light beige. Desert and jungle variants have also been developed.
The uniforms are in wonderful condition with one of the jackets being the rarer version with the sleeve pencil pockets on the left arm. There are various field repairs but they do not show any real signs of extensive use or wear.
Perfect for obscure uniform collectors! Comes more than ready for further research and display.
