Description

A very rare Waffen-SS M42 second type camouflage service smock. Produced in a pattern referred to as « Plane Tree 3/4 » and constructed from a smooth linen based cotton material. Unknown to most collectors this particular color variation is the rarest amongst factory produced camouflage material and referred to as the « Orange Variant ». Both sides are printed and exhibit really strong and contrasting colors. Cuffs and waist still retain their strong elastic bands. The pockets of the smock are produced from a tan color linen material. Smock retains an original drawstring which is commonly missing. All buttons are present and exhibit a nice feature using camouflage « HBT » material for reinforcement. All foliage loops are present and factory sewn. Smocks condition is excellent overall. Showing some use along the cuffs, a few small specks of paint mostly along the one sleeve, and a small « L » shaped rip along the bottom waist. One if not the hardest to find variants in Waffen-SS camouflage collecting.
