Sorry Tom, Fantasy Amoeba cap, modern made E-Bay special ! never come across one in any period photograph.....Amoebatarn was only available on the issue zeltbahn and used between 1956 and the 1980's, many zelts were cut up and helmet covers made up through out this period, as the BW never issued a cammo cover until the early 1990's with the introduction of Flecktarn ! The issue Amoebatarn zelt came in a Amoeba patterned bag which doubled as a hood when the zelt was worn as a poncho, no other pieces of uniform or equipment were made using Amoebatarn.
Prost ! Steve.

BGS Sumpftarn in pattern III camoflauge I will not go into great detail as I just posted a fairly detailed post in the BGS THREAD . I will bring up a few small points though the slots that are manufactured in the shoulder area are for inserting the Y-straps through and are covered by an extra cape of cloth sewn over the shoulder area to keep the weather out .The two D rings on the bag are for attaching a bread bag and or canteen to there is a field dressing pocket sewn on the bottom interior right hand side I will let the photos do the rest of the talking thanks for looking.
(The Y-Straps and breadbag shown are of the TR period and I have used them for demonstration purposes)
