The uniform is a winter uniform, there is no marking, but with the nylon pocket, it must date from the 80s.
Feldmütze with KG badge from the 70s and characteristic Skimütze from 1978.

Short summary history of the Kampfgruppen des Arbeitklasse.
The first units were created in 1953 following the demonstrations of June 1953 and were officially organized in 1954.
They were composed of predominantly male members with a minimum age of 25 years, they were voluntary volunteers belonging to industries, public institutions, agricultural cooperatives, etc. who participated in their free time in training and military exercises. Their role was to fight against saboteurs and all enemies of socialism and this function of maintaining order meant that they were attached to the MoI. The majority of members were part of the SED party, not an obligation except for the officers. Their greatest achievement was to secure the construction of the Berlin Wall.
As a reward for services rendered, members received a supplementary pension of 100 Mark after 25 years of service.
At the beginning, there wasn't really a uniform other than overalls, black/blue pants/shirt, skimütze and red armband.
The first olive green uniforms and badges appeared in the late 1950s. At that time, the badge on caps and jackets was red on a pale blue background.
