Hey there,

Does anyone here have an idea of what this might be? Sorry if its the wrong sub, I couldnt find a more matching one.

Hello

This camo type has been used in the Algerian war....(1956 rather than 1936)

Used equally for the "Bigeard cap" and para camo uniforms

That matches my few google searches, thanks a lot! Would you know anything about a possible worth?

Hi there.

It is a French lizard pattern shelter quarter, similar to the German zeltbahn.

French 50s shelter half?

$15 sounds good, I managed to get a few for around that price. They were once relatively common but now the supply has dried up, and Lizard (Léopard to the French)-pattern camouflage is very collectable.
