      This is a formation of troops of an Recon unit in the 1990s, they are all armed with  UZIs, that is West German called the MP2.   The German Bundeswehr (especially its tank crews) used the Uzi since 1959 under the designation MP2.[29][30] It replaced the MP1 (Beretta M1938/49) and Thompson M1 in service. The MP2 was fitted with the IDF-style wooden stock and the later MP2A1 was fitted with the metal folding stock. It can be recognized by its distinctive three-position "DES" selector switch: "D" for "Dauerfeuer" ("continuous-fire", or "automatic"), "E" for "Einzelfeuer" ("single-fire", or "semi-automatic"), and "S" for "Sicher" ("secure", or "safe"). It was replaced with the Heckler & Koch MP7 Personal Defense Weapon in 2007.[30] Most of the Uzis used in Germany consisted of receivers with Israeli markings and grips made by FN

      It says "Swiss Made" which would lead me to believe it is a civilian cap made for export.

      Looks like no ammo.

      Here's my m72 I got online for black Friday. Essentially unused, the liner is dated 1987.

      Somewhere in Germany, two SS Men, Coca Cola Sign in the background, unit date unknown. probably in like 1941 say, as they are still wearing the collar tabs on the greatcoat, and one that we can see no longer wearing the Red White Swastika Shield Decal on the Helmet, that was ordered removed  sometime in 1940.

      I found this at a trift store, it seems it's swiss military but when is it from?
    • yellowhammer history
      I know this is swedish but when is it from? Any other information on it would be appreciated.

      Yeah I wouldn't think that they would have the whole uniform. I was rather surprised when I was looking around and saw these.

      I would imagine it's a hard sell without the matching uniform. Dress uniforms themselves are hard to sell and modern ones even more so.

      The only thing I saw were the pants. Any idea what they would be worth?
    • ShibaLegend
      They look like dress uniform trousers. Some countries simply purchase military material, in this case uniforms from other countries, in this case the US for use by Libya, a small US ally.    Do they have the whole uniform? That could help pin down the branch of service it could be from, my best guess is Air Force due to the color.

      The MRV yearbook is now history (i.e. - SOLD). You missed your chance - sorry!
