1950s Border Guard Medical Officer

Here is a cool Border Guard Medical Officer's uniform. It had two holes. One obviously for an order and another for an academy badge. I utilized my medical academy badge for the smaller hole and a stray ORS for the larger order badge. AS you can see by the wear, the ORS fits perfectly.

The ribbon bar fits the holes and wear perfectly as well.

cool M58 tunic! Have you noticed the cloth is thicker than on the M69 ones?

Is it wool or gabardine?

BTW, congrats! :thumbsup

I don't really know, actually. There is a tailor tag. I will shoot a photo of it. I am thinking that it is gabardine.

The material in this jacket is much heavier than in the later models.

I believe so. The cloth seems have more green touchs than the maroonish M69...
