Austrian Polizei Gendarmerie Tirol Einsatzeinheit Patch (Old)

The Austrian Polizei Gendarmerie Tirol Einsatzeinheit Patch represents a piece of Austrian law enforcement history from the era of the Bundesgendarmerie, prior to the nationwide restructuring of Austrian policing in 2005.

This older-style embroidered insignia was worn by the Einsatzeinheit (Special Deployment Unit) operating within the Tyrol region of Austria. The design prominently features the Tyrolean eagle alongside traditional regional symbolism, reflecting both the heritage and operational identity of Austria’s former federal gendarmerie forces.

With its distinctive shield shape and classic European police styling, this patch is an excellent collectible for enthusiasts of historic police insignia, international tactical units, and pre-2005 Austrian law enforcement memorabilia.

Features:

• Fully embroidered patch

• Approx. 3.75” height

• Historic Bundesgendarmerie-era insignia

• Tirol Einsatzeinheit design

• Bright red, white, and gold regional colors

• Rare international police collectible

A unique addition to any collection focused on European police history, tactical units, or discontinued law enforcement insignia.
