Early patterm HEER smock in HBT splitern camo.

[anmarlodz]

I just saw the thread about Heer HBT early pattern smock and I decide to show you mine. I'm in collecting german militaria for last 15-16 years and I believe that early pattern smock shown below is real one but it is always good to ask someone with more expreience so I would like to get your opinion to be a 100% sure ( now I'm sure in 99% that it is real one). What do you think guys ? Thanks you in advance.

is this smock made of two layers of hbt, ie a camo side and a raw side, stitched together? or is this only one piece of fabric, one side plain, the other printed? can we see - if this isnt jumping the gun!-the other side, plus any pocket flap stamps, etc? thank you.

No, it is made of one piece hbt cloth ; white on one side and spliter camo on other side.

The example above is straight from woodwork; used and dirty with some damages and stains ( never been in collection before mine ).

Here is the very same style camo smock which was for sale some time ago on virtual grenadier :

I don't see any Red Flags. I like the construction, materials and overall look. Jim
