The Swedish Reversible Red Cross Armband is original Cold War military surplus issued to Swedish Armed Forces field medics.
Cold War Medical Issue
Issued to military medical personnel during the 1970s and 1980s, this brassard provided clear Geneva Convention identification. Constructed from waterproof PVC synthetic material, it withstands rain and mud without absorbing moisture or rotting in wet field conditions.
Reversible Dual-Sided Design
The brassard features a high-visibility white side for standard medical recognition alongside an olive drab reverse side. The subdued green backing reduces visual signature during tactical field exercises while maintaining the required red cross insignia in a central white panel.
Field Utility and Fit
An integrated hook and loop fastener allows quick attachment and size adjustment over combat jackets or outerwear. It provides immediate identification for airsoft medics, historical reenactors, and emergency response kits without restrictive elastic banding.

This item was used by the Swedish Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
