Recent Blumentarn

[Conscript]

Hi Gents,

I picked up an absolutely beautiful and mint Blumentarn uniform and was wondering if you guys can tell me about it. It doesn't seem to be of the original 'hoodie' cut of the early 60's, but by looking at the pocket and shirt configuration it could be somewhat of a hybrid.

As you can see from the stamps it's a matching M56 uniform dated 65.









Thanks!

Interesting, it has no breast pockets

That's what threw me off initially, which is why I'm hoping someone either knows or owns this cut of FDU.

There is a simular uniform displayed in this older thread:

This style of FDU is OK. I have two of these collared Blumentarn jackets without the breast pockets. There seem to be several patterns of these Blumentarn jackets. As I recall, it was determined that most of the collared jackets without hoods seemed to have been worn by Grenzschutz from the available period photographs.

May I momentarily take the role that my esteemed Genosse Viktor would normally play? ...
The defenders of the anti-fascist protective barrier are called Grenztruppen... The Grenzschützen (Bundes-) are the oppressors of the people on the OTHER side of the barbed wire...
Sorry for being pedantic

Which is rarer, 1st Model NVA or MdI Blumentarn? The reason I ask is because I have a 1962 dated MdI 1st Model jacket in Size 4.
