Luftwaffe Paratrooper 'Sumpftarn' Smock
Luftwaffe Paratrooper 'Sumpftarn' Camouflage Smock (Fallschirmschützenbluse) also known as 'Knochensack'. This is a nice third pattern smock, made of 'Sumpftarn' (tan/water) camouflage material. The smocks were designed to fit over the standard service uniform and are therefore quite large. The top 2 zippers have unfortunately been removed and the flaps are closed by machine-sewing, see photos. The bottom 2 zippers are nicely 'RiRi' marked and are in complete and functional condition. The smock is marked with 'RB-Nr.0/01305/0249' and the smock is size 'IIc' marked. The slightly faded smock is heavy traces of usage/staining and some small damages, see photos for details. The smock is having a replaced breast eagle. Nice original late war heavily combat worn Fallschirmjäger smock!
This smock originates from the collection of the recently closed Eyewitness Museum and was in display in the diorama in the last picture!
