A change of colour tones; New Zealand Desert DPM uniform.
...not a usual area of shopping for me but I saw this and liked it....are there any better reasons?
OK, so it'll never be rare but.......

Well, I thought that about the flak jackets we used in NI (very similar to the US Vietnam style) but they are pretty scarce now!
There were hundreds of thousands of the DDPM type (complete sets) that just disappeared during 1st Gulf and were never accounted for as far as I am aware. That must help with the rarity issue
I too am one of those traditional collectors and will add a piece because I like it not because it will appreciate in value!!

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
I recently was successful at auction for a New Zealand Army issued PASGT helmet with NZ DPM helmet cover. I'll post some photos soon of that. But I'd really like to find one of the scrim helmet covers used with the PASGT, such as seen in this 2013 photo, (which actually could be on the Australian Enhanced Combat helmet which was in use by then).
NZ camo'd PASGT?....'looking forward to seeing that.......
Do you post it somewhere else on the forum?
'picked up a piece of Brit "sparse pattern" DDPM during the summer.....
...well, it's sparser-er-er than the other stuff....AND it belonged to royalty too.....
Not DPM but I'll place it here (frikken massive head cold today- sick as a dog!!) mid 80's
New Zealand DPM helmet cover (a bit faded) on a NZArmy issue PASGT helmet from my collection.
