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).
