Nota Bene Wrote:Jeffrey,
I believe this is an observer's uniform, not peacekeeper's. The beret looks like a standard issue Soviet paratrooper's beret with a UN patch from a suvenir shop in the UN complex in NY.

Yes, it does state observer in the auction. I believe this is genuine as the guy selling it is a pretty reputable dealer. The patch is correct with USSR in latin, not cyrillic as per UN uniforms. The beret is probably a Airborne beret as it has a sweatshield, but it is a badge, not a patch. berets were supposed to be provided by your nation, but the badge is UN.
