    Here are some picures of vz.61 jacket used by Pohranicni straz = border guards. Jacket is dated 1963.
    This type of jacket was for the Ministry of Interior forces: SNB - Sbor narodni bezpecnosti = police and Pohranicni straz = border guards.
    As you can see in the detail picture, the colar has symbols of Pohranicni straz: sewn in green shields with metal dog head pin up insignia. Jackets for SNB were without these insignia.

    Differences between this type and type for regular army are:
    a) 2 chest pockets with V-shaped flaps
    b) back pocket with V-shaped flap
    c) rubber drawstring secured by buttons in the bottom
    d) other type of cuffs
    e) no crossed swords stamp

    But SNB and Pohranicni straz also used regular army uniforms. But these unifoms were without crossed swords stamps.
