Bravo Bandits Posted May 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2021 I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. With that said I have a border guard jacket with the same camouflage pattern. I just cannot find any info on a border guard beret. So, is it legit or fantasy piece? I appreciate your help. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted May 14, 2021 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2021 I did some reseach and could not find any evidence for the use of swamp pattern camo berets by the Bundesgrenzschutz. Unfortunately I can´t tell you if this is a fantasy piece of if it was made for export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beret was in the same box as the SS Smock I posted and I was hoping I found some hidden gems. With that said I was buying the Vietnam era items that he had and all the rest were just extras. I appreciate your help. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packratt713 Posted June 25, 2021 Share #4 Posted June 25, 2021 You could buy these in the 90's at most of the surplus stores in Germany. When I was station there. I bought one my self but have since sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
