Waffen-SS M42 plane tree camouflage smock

Textbook original Waffen-SS plane tree overprint smock in combat worn condition. The smock is a typical M42 type 1 smock with straight pockets. The pockets are lined with field grey Drillich material with plane tree pocket flaps. The garment is typically sewn on the sides with a double needle seam and the rest finished with a single needle machine. The rayon drawstring is woven through handsewn holes. All of the foliage loops are fully intact. The elastic on the sleeves and waist is still in functional condition and has never been removed or replaced. The smock has a number of period repairs showing the wear. The camouflage print is strong and full of contrast and the colours very vibrant. The smock would be a prime piece in any camouflage collection and would be very hard to upgrade.
