In 2001, the BGS made their final reorganization and uniform change before they were officially renamed in 2005 as the Bundespolizei. During the 2001 - 2005 time period, the BGS basically wore the standard German Federal Police uniform. The last of the old Bundesgrenzschutz unique items were a thing of the past. The rank structure as well as the shoulder boards became the standard police style worn throughout Germany. The shoulder patches were also changed to a Police Green background with yellow embroidery. The work POLIZEI was also added above the Federal Eagle.
The set I am showcasing today are new and unissued.
Here is a quick shot of a few Bundesgrenzschutz officers "working the crowd" during this 2001 - 2005 transition period:
