Green Border Guards Cap Device

Hello,
This was recently offered on a well know auction site and I have not seen one this color before. Was there a border guards generals visor emblem in green like this? I know of the air force light blue, the NKGB dark blue and the regular red but this green one is one I am not farmiliar with. Is it real or fantasy? Thanks Clete

Sorry this is the only pic they had of it. Clete

Oh, I have seen this item too. It´s a repro.

Yes, this is a repro on E, however a real green backed version did exist. There is a photo of a real on in the Kutsenko small guide on cap badges. dd

Thanks for the help fellows! I do appreciate it. Now that would be a nice visor to have. Clete
