IDF issued French m47 lizard camouflage trousers. these have the IDF acceptance ink stamp and this type of uniform item saw extensive use by the IDf in the 1960's and in particular in the six days war in 1967.

Interestingly they have been made from two different shades of lizard camo fabric, each leg and parts of the pockets or flaps are done this way, so not just fading.

As I cannot edit my previous post, I will add that the trousers are TAP 47/56 (Troupes Aéro Portées).

I borrowed the drawn image from an online site, Vonstuck Camouflage • Site de collectionneur de camouflages, there is a powerpoint linked into the first line you need to click on to access it FRENCH TAP PATTERN & CUT

The IDF used French paratrooper TAP47/56 trousers arrived today. Very pleased I am with them.

As I mentioned previously, they are made from two different bolts of fabric, rather obviously on each leg and the pocket flaps. Also rather more unusually they only have one rear pocket.

If they were the next size up I would, they are real quality items.

Thanks James, it is good of you to say so.

All collecting is on hold for me at the moment, sadly the cost of living has got in the way....but hopefully before too long I can add some more items to my collection.
