Original Piece of FJ Parachute - Opinion Please?

[Ty Smith]

I have two cut sections of a german parachute. I'm curious if anyone has seen one like this before and what it is used for. It is made of silk and is very well made. It has white and dark brown stiching and is green, dark brown and light brown. Is this a FJ parachute or something else?

Opinions Please ?

The chute material matches up with the vet pick up I handled today - the stiching was white too, however, the "para cords" were a dark green.

Variations?

Hope this helps.

Looks like a piece of a RZ20 canopy. They came with either green or white shroud lines. It may be rayon. Silk was pretty rare. You can often find complete RZ20 canopies at shows. And, you can find chutes for supply "bombs".......same color camo pattern.

Thanks for your help, feels like silk I'm sure it is rayon.
