Extremely scarce original Waffen-SS Panzer crew member trousers in smooth Erbsentarn camouflage fabric. One of a handful known in the collector community; this is the pinnacle of collecting camouflage items of the utmost rarity. The trousers are in very good, IMO lightly worn condition. The garment retains all but one factory sewn buttons. There is a small period handsewn repair to the back of the seat, otherwise it’s undamaged. Both leg tie straps are intact as is the internal belt and the inside pockets. The trousers are in a good, medium to large size fitting most modern sized mannequins. The garment is marked 393 which is the only known maker for these trousers in this material and a typical Waffen-SS manufacturer code. There are some light paint stains on the trousers which don’t distract too much of the vibrant and contrast-filled colours of the Erbsentarn pattern used in the construction for these trousers. A rare opportunity to purchase real Waffen-SS camouflage Panzer trousers in smooth(!) material!

I usually don’t post items to the top; but this one deserves a spot next to the Black SS Panzer wrapper!
