Description

A Holy Grail item for Cold War collectors and LRRP reenactors.

History: The early BW splinter camo was notoriously short-lived (cancelled around 1957/58) because its visual similarity to WWII Wehrmacht patterns caused political discomfort.
Features: Four-pocket design utilizing heavy-duty metal snaps. The interior features original drawstrings and lining.
Condition ("Salty"): This jacket has seen genuine field use. It features several meticulous period field repairs/patches on the lower pockets and sides. The main zipper is completely undamaged but is stiff to operate. Minor fraying on the cuffs.
Sizing: An incredibly rare wearable size for this era. The ~128cm (50.4 inches) chest easily accommodates a modern XL/XXL.

Technical Specs & Measurements:

Camo Pattern: BW Splittertarnmuster (1956)
Chest: ~128 cm (approx 50.4")
Sleeve (from shoulder): ~60 cm (approx 23.6")
Condition: Used / Period Repaired (Salty).
