Chilean Army Special Forces Grouping – “Comandos 12” | Personal Guard of General Pinochet, 1994

This historically significant grouping of Chilean Army Special Forces items dates to 1994 and belonged to a member of the personal security detail assigned to General Augusto Pinochet.

The set includes an original Chilean Army camouflage uniform bearing the distinctive “Comandos 12” insignia, a unit associated with elite special operations personnel. Accompanying the uniform are a parachute silk scarf, commonly worn by airborne and special forces personnel, and an original rigger-style belt, consistent with field and operational use.
