[QUOTE=William1;1392323]I do wish you luck with it Gary, and you will need a lot as these hardly ever turn up on ebay and when they do appear they go crazy. I was fortunate to get this one off a surplus dealer, but he knew what it was and it wasn't pennies, but still a good deal less than I'd have had to pay on ebay.
Here's another item I like: a 70s dpm bush hat, also favoured by the SF guys, shown here on perhaps not the background I'd have chosen but it's what was on our bed that day:
Haha yes I know ,I am under no illusions that it would be easy to source these early DPM items, but I am a patient and tenacious collector !
And the bush hat stands out nicely regardless of the backdrop, the colours are very vivid and I have always been keen on the vividness of "trops" over standard temperate DPM, she's a beauty !!

Hi Austro, fantastic collection of Fleckerlteppich Parka's, one of my favourite post-war camouflage patterns, and Steve certainly knows his Fleckerlteppich, however it is such a pity he never catalogued the excellent descriptions of the evolution of these garments with pictures too

somewhere out there in the WWW. UNIVERSE ..I came across a very detailed account outlining in pictures the difference's and the evolution!!! .. including variations in patterns of the Pea-dot itself !!! very interesting reading!!! I think it was on a camouflage web-site??? but it has long since been lost in the favourites archive in my old computer.... that crashed !!! losing all my valuable library of links I built up over the years!!! "Bahh" !!! before the days I discovered good old automatic "back up" !!!! ... and I'm still nowhere near all recovered yet.. even after 4 odd years!!!
PS
My set of Panzerjacke are merely the tip of the proverbial "iceberg"
wait till I get my full collection of infantry parkas, trousers, and other K4 patterned items posted!!!
lets just say its almost as out of control as my Austrian stalhelm collection!!!
oh all right its probably about the same I suppose !!!!!!!
PPS
ahh just found the camo site I referred to
Austria - Camopedia
