Standard Erbsmuster.

Nothing to do with Egypt as this is the hood worn with the winter reversible suit.

Cheers, Ade.

From what I can see, it looks original.

Cheers, Ade.

Here is a comment on the item:

"An incrediably under-rated item of SS camo reversible clothing.

101% original 4th (last) model hood. The 4th model is an improved/ simplfied construction for manufacturing efficiency. It is also lighter in weight due to production restrictions at the time.

These are the best buy for $ in SS dot camo that there is in the market. The SS dot examples are harder to find than the Oakleaf type which are heavier in weight.

The tie string is missing which is typical on the 4th model due to the crap late war HBT used. I notice it has a button added (period ?) to hold it togther. Nice period/ practical alteration"
