Nice card box marked " Kurt 1968 "

What is the pin like at rear ??

Nice KG set !

My newly found one (front and rear) :

Early 1970s tunic with specific MfS markings

A service tunic from the MfS with very early collar boards type '57 ; dressing pocket inside ; zigzag stitching underneath collar ; small loop above breast pocket for interimspange (too sad the second loop is missing) ... shoulder boards are post '71 ones

The fabric is quite light... maybe a summer tunic ...

Pants are dated 1960 !!

Enjoy !!

My nests...

The Luft with fringes whould be here soon... will post more pics when they are...

And here is an original:

I'm hoping to eventually be able to do a full scale display with manequins dressed in Grenztruppen uniforms and equipment standing along the border with one of these posts and my sign up at the top just as you see in these pictures. It's way off in the future but the dream is there.

I'd also eventually love to obtain a Soviet counterpart to this sign.

Dan, if you have a close lookt at the picture you have posted, you will find out it is the schield I have in my collection. I was lucky to get it when it was for sale on ebay... here are more pics of it...

I am about to receive very interesting pictures regarding those schields... will come back with them when they get here !
