SFOR Shirt badged with Beret

"This is the German coast guard... what are you sinking about?" Nice shirt, do you know what era it is?

SFOR ran from 1996-2005 , so sometime between those years .

That is pretty swell, I have never found a nicely badged set, the most I have come up with is a set with shoulder rank...nice find!!!

That is a nice shirt, The Division Salamandre is a joint French/ German unit and I know they had some units in the Sarajevo area when I was stationed there. It's hard to tell from the picture, but are there any letters or numbers after GECONSFOR on the pocket patch?

looks like (L)

It is a beautifully badged shirt. These are quite rare as the badging is usually removed and kept by the soldier or sold off to badge collectors at stupidly high prices. There's about $25 worth of badging on there!

The Spanish are also a part of the Salamander Division. The actual units assigned to it rotate, so as far as I know the "division" is more of an administrative unit than an organic unit. For example, the Franco-German Brigade is permanent.

Thanks
Steve

I have another question for you Oliver , is this patch W.G. ?? or French ??

Hello,

you need a red beret.

What you mean with W.G. ???

This Patches with the ISAF Ribbon is yust a NATO Patche, i mean it will be used from every Nato Soldier, no matter from with country! It was the Same at my time in Kosovo.... We have also used this kind of Patches.

When i see the Camouflage inside the Patche i think its Italien Camouflage!!! There are many different ISAF patches, you can not really say who they are!

i got alot Crests from the Bundeswehr also for the beret. Now its all in Boxes, i chance my Flat soon. When its all finished i sent you the Crest!

Greetings

West German.
All of our American collecting fellows don't know about the German reunification, haha!

Sorry But i see i was wrong with the color..... under the SFOR Patches you see the Patche with the two flags! This is in the Bundeswehr a Armoured Reconnaissance UNIT. Every Unit Patche from the Reconnaissance UNITs has this kind of 2 flags!

Thats means for me he has used a Black beret with this Crest!

The color is alitle bit the Same like Signals from us, so its easy to make a mistake.

But Now its right

I apologize my friend , yes I meant West German , as a collector , there is a separation for East and West still to this day to identify different Items for people who need it , It has become a bad habit for me LOL , thanks again ,I am glad the patch can be used for my German uniform ! that is good news as I see many with different camouflage patterns in the back ground .
I now will find the correct Beret for my SFOR Shirt .

Black beret with the last crest i Show you...

When i come Home today i will Look for this Unit, when i Found the Unit in my Books i can Tell you the yeahr when they was on this SFOR Mission.

But now Iam on the Way .....

Thanks Oliver , I very much look forward to any information !

panzerwerk....the Battalion badge on your shirt/jacket is for "Aufklarungsbatallion 13" (Armoured Reccon) which was part of the 2nd contingent of the "Salamander Division", this Battalion is normally garrisoned in Gotha. The shoulder strap colour slip-on, should be Goldgelb(Golden yellow) for this particular unit. I also have a 1997 dated shirt/jacket from this Battalion, ranked "Stabsfeldwebel" with most of the same badges applied, except for the GECONSFOR pocket patch, it does not look like it ever had one.
Hope that helps,
Prost ! Steve.

Thank You , I have to say it is my favorite piece of Flecktarn I own !!!

Steve...its the only piece of Flecktarn clothing I own ! as I mostly collect earlier (1955-1970)BW items.
Prost ! STEVE.

Steve...see here for more information on this Battalion http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufkl%C3%A4rungsbataillon_13

Prost ! Steve.

Thanks so much for the link !!!!!!!
