The Danish helmet issued by CivilForsvaret ("Civil Defense") looks like it's specifically been issued to part of the karréværn, the local civil defense personnel assigned to a specific block of buildings and equipped partly by the block's inhabitants. Usually they'd be identified by a white and blue armband with the the text "CF KV", with CF being written above KV, but I can't really see what else "KVN" would stand for in the context of a CF helmet from that era.
Such a good joke, we should all use it again and again! You’re so smart and funny, thank you sm for repeating this lovely joke, it’s so refreshing to see it again.
Nice to see some SA stuff on the channel, i`ve been chirping about it for ages... Now to find SAP Pattern 1, SAP Railway Police Pattern, Koevoet and Bophuthatswana Police "Reed Pattern" to round out your SAP collection...
Amazing to see what I consider a pretty special danish m23/40 show up, I have one with all the same markings and changes. Im not 100% sure so I'm probably wrong but the CF is to mark that its civil defense and the KVN to mark for basically for the local fire unit or something similar to firefighters.
Well this is cool…but I still have my original T-block cammies, the 6 color (chocolate chip) cammies, the 3 tone desert cammies, My M81 cammies with the helmet, flak jacket and the green side jungle boots. I also have the test cammies the Marine Corps had us test……in 2 patterns. Then I got my digital desert / woodland MARPAT….. Not to mention the uniform pieces I got from the many MEU’s I was on to do training with many countries…..I have been to 60 countries. Now I’m retired and still got it all.
I know you only do uniform breakdowns on actual uniforms, but do you think you could help me get the exact stuff for a cosplay I'm doing? It's the Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 Navy Seal, aka Assault Class, referred to as Specops1 in Call Of Duty Mobile. No-one seems to know the gear! I wonder what the purple goggles are by the way. Anyways, if you could help that would be cool. I think the vest is a Cyre Cage Chassis prototype, idk. Just help pls, if u want
@@TheConstitutionalOathkeeper got almost the full range of uniforms, stuff from the UDF era to 1994, p83s, balsaks, groundsheets etc. And bit of sap stuff too
Hey Uniform History, I was at an event a few weeks ago and saw a great condition Danish M/84 smock in a regular size. Are these rare and am I an idiot for not picking it up because I've only ever seen the boonie hats and sleeping bag covers before
Hey. Im Danish and here in Denmark M/84 is not rare at all. I don’t know if it is in other countries. the sleeping bag covers are rare here in Denmark because the army still use them.
It'll depend on whether it's genuine Danish surplus or a commercial copy by a company such as Tacgear. The Tacgear stuff is possibly still in production, and can be found both used and new (and some was privately bought by troops afaik), but genuine HMAK (literally translated as army materiel command) issued gear will be harder to find, especially outside Denmark, since government surplus is generally only slowly auctioned off by the state in large lots with somewhat random contents, and at prices that aren't accessible to anyone except major surplus resellers. If you can find the tag that says "HMAK" or "FMK" with a year and a crown on it, it's government-issue.

Man what I’d do to find South African stuff like that locally, sick finds
Hey can you do gign uniform video
Those two camo jackets. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan...
Those are shirts, they're made of this horrible material. I call them dress shirts but they were more for office use and general police duty
Could have been a short. Keep up the great work.
