Does anyone have an idea as to what type of parachute this is? I've not seen one like this before and am having trouble finding information on it. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. It is dated 1941.
Thanks -- Randy

I would look for a FL number on it somewhere ought to be a panel with the maker, FL number etc on it. There appears to be a BA stamp on it, this stands for Bauabnahme, and is a Luftwaffe acceptance stamp.
The inside of one RZ 16 or RZ 20
