Former "Bundesgrenzschutz" is now called "Bundespolizei" (=Federal Police) since 2005.<br />2) The usual Police unform used throughout the 80s/90s. Can still be seen sometimes in some counties today.<br />3) This shows some history of Bundesgrenzschutz uniforms (BG on the licence plate). On the left a current version. The woman wears the older version from the '80s/'90s, probably still used on special occasions today. The two men on the right are in very old uniforms from the '60s/'50s. The car on the right in the background is from about the same time.<br /><br />Really a nice topic and great paintjob.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Chris ChrisZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772401495781460006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-11871917306807648662015-07-01T00:23:23.781-07:002015-07-01T00:23:23.781-07:00Great work mate!

In the third photo the two men on the right are BGS from the shoulder patches they are wearing. Great job with the minis, they are great!
