Late war Fallschirmjäger smock in Sumpftarn camouflage marked 0/1283/0040 IIB

Late war Fallschirmjäger smock in Sumpftarn camouflage marked 0/1283/0040 IIB. This is a textbook late war Fallschirmjäger smock made in the hard edged Sumpftarn camouflage. This is the first type of Sumpftarn which was issued from early 1944 with its first documented action in Normandy. The smock has a tropical breast eagle which in my opinion is resewn to the piece. The smock retains all of its press studs and glass buttons on the front closure. The size is II B and not I B, the I an II is easily misread as the numerals are so close to eachother. The print is vibrant and full of contrast. A textbook and beautiful example!
