    Neat! I didn't know there was a specific cut for Border Guards. That's not surprising, though, since other countries have slightly different versions for their border guards (Czechoslovak and Polish for example).

    Are they difficult to find?

    Thanks; updated now. Should they also have the star buttons or was it common for these uniforms to have non-star buttons?

    I have added another two items now -
    2001 Shirt Army?:

    ...Buttons with a star depend on the factory during the communist period. After '80 no buttons with stars.

    I guess that sets you one. Pants and shirt That have set. Usually shirt is 100% cotton and trousers is a mixed fabric there is a difference in color. Jacket / parka is always of the same fabric as the pants.
    Sets which show quite ordinary soldiers, officers have reinforcements on the knees, butt, elbows and double legs.
    Officer double legs

    Thanks - some good information.

    Do you know which years these trousers would be from:
    http://camouniforms.net/index.php/eastern-europe/bulgaria/splinter-pattern/472-2013-05-22-16-02-58
    2000s?

    Also would they both be Army issue?

    Hi Necrolust and others,

    Do you happen to have any advice on which year/era these trousers would be from?

    How widespread was the use of these camouflage uniforms during the communist period in the 1970s and 1980s? Was it restricted to air-mobile and reconnaissance units?

    How long were the older splinter coveralls used?

    I missed seeing Raff's picture until now, so thanks for bumping the thread Smile

    I am curious about the hats. I don't think I've seen this type in camouflage before. I have a Communist era brown wool version only.

    Hi Steve,
    these hats are rather rare, even for Bulgarians to see Smile ... I have personally only seen a few winterhats in camo before. I will keep my eyes open, maybe I can get my hands on a summer camo cap ... I will keep you posted.

    thanks for the info Rumen! The "bush hats" were made by "Интенданско Обслужване София", so could been official military hats, right?

    @Steve, you're welcome. A friend of mine had a camo beret for sale a few months back, however it was in size 55 and I have the habbit of byuing only what also fits me ... I will ask him if he can get more by any chance in larger sizes. Let's see ...
