Hi all.
Got given this nice quality jacket by a friend of mine when I told him I'm planning to play as German when attending a game.
He thinks its post war Polish pattern and I guess it looks a bit like some of the Autumn camo used by the SS.

Can anyone identify it and can I use it in a game you think?

:wink:

Various modern camos here:

Closest seems to be Austrian dot camo (which would fit in with the Germanic looking buttons on the jacket).

iirc used from the 1950s to 1970s.

Might be something different though.

Cheers

It is Austrian.
Was very popular in the late 70s early 80s before the repro SS kit came along.
