Ciao Simone,
nice find...Your is the 1st type of parka tailored with green cotton fabric, used by the Army and in special way by the SS troops before the use of camo models...
This is mine very close to your one and as you see, it brings the stamp of the SS BW...
Alex
PS: could you help me to read the name of the maker on your one? (Schmi...?)

Thank you Alex for your comment!

It's very hard and probably impossible to read the maker. SCHM are the first letters on it...
Sorry!

Hi all,

Here I am again. Finally had my Internet connection re-estabilished. Got tired of using that German Field Phone...

Concerning the parka and pants: both are nice original examples and hard to come by. I concur with the above that it is impossible to tell whether the pants are Heer or Luftwaffe issue. The maker of the jacket is Schmidt, his company also made the earliest models with a woollen exterior. Make sure to check Werner's book and my upcomming one.

Have a good time collecting,

Vincent S.

Another question...

In the arms, on the white side, there are two button in the front and two in the back.

What are they made for?
