KGB Border Troops Signals

This is a really interesting tunic on a site; KGB Border Troops Signals / Communications. I have to say to never having seen one of these! I'd like to keep a record of it here.

Been trying to get the KGB Border Troops Communications patch for ages...a real one at least.

Marc,

It is KGB Border Troops, so the green color tabs and boards are correct (I assume you mean the insignia and not the tunic itself).

this is a great set! A M1958 brand if I'm correct?

I doubt that. There are quite a few around and I think the demand is limited. Worth to notice is that the belt in the picture is older type with more golden threads than the later ones.
