SARGE Posted November 9 Share #1 Posted November 9 Here are two variations of Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) cap insignia. Both are embroidered gold wire insignia that I believe are General Officer rank peaked cap insignia. One is two piece with a separate eagle while the other is made as a one piece insignia.

Proud Kraut Posted November 11 Share #2 Posted November 11 Not my field of expertise and I could be wrong here but I was told once that these BGS insignia with dark blue background (it looks dark blue on my PC) were for BGS-See uniforms. Awesome and rare hand embroidered insignia anyway, thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted November 11 Author Share #3 Posted November 11 I wondered about the possibility of them being BGS-See. The background color is actually black and not blue and the background color on the BGS General seems to be darker than green but who knows? I like the insignia either way.

Proud Kraut Posted November 11 Share #4 Posted November 11 Thanks for the info! I´ll try to find out more about the black background insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted November 12 Author Share #5 Posted November 12 I think you are correct. I just checked a BGS General Officer tunic that I have and the sleeve eagle is gold bullion on a dark green backing. I am happy with the insignia being for the Wasser-Grenzers.
