I just picked this up in the middle of France originally thinking French, then Belgian and finally English with the help of various people. Best I can tell its some sort of blend of P37 and P40 'austerity' pattern.
It looks pretty much mint but all the markings are long worn out.

I've heard mention that this type of thing was issued early on to French forces. Does anyone have any information about this?
Also, any idea of value since it appears the ww2 issues in nicer condition are harder to come by. Thanks!
