Ich sammle Artikel der Schweizer Armee und habe festgestellt, dass in letzter Zeit viele Angebote für die Schweizer Armee aufgetaucht sind "Teddy" Auf dem Facebook-Marktplatz sind Jacken aufgetaucht, die alle dieselben Bilder an verschiedenen Orten wiederverwenden und der Verkäufer nur per E-Mail erreichbar ist.
Ich bezweifle ernsthaft, dass diese Angebote in irgendeiner Weise echt sind, da die Bilder wiederverwendet werden und diese Jacken tendenziell viel teurer sind, aber es kommt mir so seltsam vor, dass jemand versucht, einen so spezifischen Nischenartikel zu verwenden, um andere zu betrügen.
Wenn jemand etwas zu sagen hat, wäre ich sehr dankbar. Danke!

Ja
Probably a scam.
But to be fair, this corresponds to the „real“ price more or less. Maybe with the change of the uniform this jacket might soon flood the market for a even cheaper price.
The Teddy is only given to some „service long“ milice personnel, and otherwise to career military personnel.
For some reason, they are highly popular and seen as „special“, because no regular, not even Unteroffizier or Offizier milice personnel get them. And they are comfortable, ideal for cold temperature, unlike the shitty default gear.
So some people are willing to buy them for cringe aura farming reason to wear them during service, as a flex.
Just be informed that any Teddy you can buy on the market is stolen, and is illegal.
For the price, there is no reference price, it’s all black market, so depending on the seller anything goes
Probably a scam yes.
Got scammed once too. But Riccardo cleared everything for me, received most of my money back.
If youre fr searching for one I have one which is way to big for me (in Swissgerman: Ech ha en BM-Teddy, sehr selte und in guetem zuestand)
Shoot me a dm if you’re interested. 🙂
The Swiss Armed Forces are currently equipping their personnel (both militia members and professional soldiers) with the new MBAS uniform.
The jackets you’re showing are part of the „old“ uniform (TAZ90). So it’s not particularly surprising to see an increase in listings at the moment.
Of course, that doesn’t rule out the possibility of it being a scam.
Why would you want to buy this shit?
Ah, I remember during RS when one recruit who was particularly eager to become an officer and therefore sucking up to them as much as possible asked the following question to our BM instructor wearing a teddy: „When do I get that one“ while pointing at the instructor. His response: „Was this just a gay hook-up question?“. He never fully recovered from this until he finally left to go to the OS.
My man, if you look at the TAZ Pattern you can clearly see that they are different jackets because the colored spots don’t match up in any of them. These are 100% from contract officers and NCOs that recently got the big MBAS rollout and no longer want/can’t wear the teddy. These went for like 300-500chf when I was issued one. 150CHF seems better, but they will be dumped for even less once everyone gets MBAS.
whenever it’s only email, no pick-up option, a new marketplace profile with no valid name…. call it Scam.
Likely scam (already suspicious as two of them are using the same picture with different locations). Check with Google reverse image search if a specific picture has been posted before somewhere, especially old Ricardo listings. These usually go for around 600.- so 150.- is suspiciously low.
The two one the right are a possible scam because its the exact same picture. Id stay away from those.
sounds like a scam for sure. if they’re only reachable via email and using the same images, that’s a red flag. i’d be cautious, try checking out more reputable sources or forums where collectors hang out. usually, genuine sellers will have some kind of verifiable history or feedback. good luck hunting for your teddy jacket!
Bruh, I ve had it as a recruit then soldier the entire time (military police) I never used it. Didn’t get the hype
Yes, because it’s from the french speaking cantons (and TI)…
i got the old abc anzug and fisch at home
shoot me a dm if interested
They are selling 4 of what? I see nothing. For 100-200 chf? Yeah scam
Its nice to find someone else with a collection haha
It’s decent jacket but for the price you can get civilian ones just as good really.
Ich würde vorsichtig sein
We used to have it before mbas as PA material (Geb Spez) and nobody used it because it’s not really breathable, warm or dry capable, despite this other troops went crazy about it for some non understandable reason. I gave mine to my brother and the replacement cost me 50.-. If I where you, I’ll ask nicely to any geb spez you know and since we don’t use them anymore mayebe he can give you his teddy. Edit: it’s not exactly the same as on the ricardo page. A photo below

It sounds like you’re not living in Switzerland, in which case I feel like I should warn you that there are a LOT of scammers here in online marketplaces (and by “here”, I mean on Swiss forums, they probably are running accounts from somewhere else etc).
There is a huge amount of trust in online shopping here. You can order most items from Amazon-like dealers and not pay before they ship it. The package just comes with an invoice, and you pay when it arrives. This kind of amazed me when I learned about it.
But there are also sites that lack any meaningful protection for the buyer, so you definitely see scams. I’m sure this isn’t unique to Switzerland. But just to flag for you, it definitely happens. I can’t speak to this particular line of articles, of course.
watch out via facebook marketplace. only ever pay with paypal goods&services. also could easily be that these got stolen by military personell and simply marked as „matverlust“
Abolutely overratet. We got the Teddy in one Repeating Course (WK) and experience I made with the Teddys, they are „für nüt und grad namal nüt“ (like really shit). You get soaked when raining, it doesn‘t warm you and they are heavy. On the other side the newer model, the Mountain Fleece Jacket (Geb Flies Jacke 04) is the best piece of clothing i ever worn im service till now.
just ask them. remember – lying is illegal in switzerland, so they have to tell you the truth.
This jacket kinda reminds me of a small prank we did on a comrade during weekend watch. Our Kadi left his teddy in his office. A duo was doing a patrol. So we decided to give them a little scare. The guy with the most similar stature from our Kadi put the jacket on and turned around so they couldn’t see his face. As soon as they saw him, they thought the Kadi was here for a surprise inspection. It was a silly little thing but made us laugh quite a bit.
