field service dress / summer Flächentarndruck for a soldier to the border service in the fall of 1967
black on the contemporary white - photo is a post pair in Field Service Dress (Flächentarn) to see. The typical appearance of the border guards from the mid-60s to late 60s. Although 1965, the field service dress in a dash - no bar pressure pattern was introduced, one used with the border still continues to Flächentarnuniformen, some to 1970. It was in these years, both uniform models used.
This example was the soldier, the last variant of the field service jacket with hidden front pockets. Harness and belt in black leather version. Remarkable is the manner of carrying rack carrier, the straps are not passed through here under the shoulder straps! Contemporary photos show that sometimes the belts were worn under the shoulder straps and sometimes not. Obviously it has not in some marginal companies take it so well. Duly way would be to carry the belt between the collar and shoulder flap.
interesting is the mounting of the carrying rack on his belt. Normally one of the hook for hanging a leather black belt loop with a rectangular Metal eye to it. In these years, these coupling loops were not well used, as seen in old photos, mostly of the hook was hung directly on the paddock. Whatever the reason, I could not find any answer. Possibly with the introduction of the coupling tool was no longer manufactured in gray webbing, the black leather straps and it was in the clothing store only limited quantities in stock. But that takes some getting only speculation.
During the cool days of autumn could be the service uniform worn carded out under the field service uniform. The border service also allowed several pieces of equipment carried. This was quite different from border company to Grenzkompanie.Standard but was the canvas or the rain cape, and the canteen. I've seen photos, as was even the steel helmet carried.
The cap is a model of 1963, one of the first stone-gray garments of the border troops. The shoulder flaps in field service execution, without weapons color in the early version of the 60s.
