nice cammo, looks great
A small update as ive not posted for a while. Here are a few items that i recently became the recipient of ,i cannot thank the BW moderator steve enough for making this happen, firstly a set of west german bundeswehr Schneetarn trousers and tunic ,the tunic is dated 1962 and has a detachable hood unfortunately missing on this one but i have an idea on how to rectify that , ive always been led to believe the earlier the uniform the lighter green the camo ,my poncho has thrown out that theory as its shows light green but dated 1984 ,for the display ive added atop the BW cold weather cap a field applied snow camo to the early m60 ,this trooper has aquired some american alpine googles during joint exercise training

A late 50's early 60's display the panzer combination one piece suit is dated 1959 the hard beret dated 63, the soft beret for when dismounted has never been dated as the label gives no clues but i can assume from the same time period and in my opinion the same material for the beret's are as used on the previous flitzlouse uniform, it is best to link to steve's thread to explain the rich history behind the suit's former owner and i feel honoured to have had the opportunity to aquire it WW2 Vets BW Panzer combi. i must add allthough bundeswehr issue the earphones are not period correct for the display but i have added the correct period beret's to show there use with the throat mikes
