Your thoughts on these splinter patern camo trousers

[Uhlan]

I am looking into buying this pair of trousers. The material looks like zeltbahn fabric. No markings anywhere. The two grommets are aluminum, buttons are plastic. I haven't found an example of these in any of my references. I took the photos with them hanging over the back of a car trunk. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hi,
I would not buy these as they appear to have the charteristic yellow spots of the Swiss Zeltbahn material and thus would have to be Post War assembeled. As a rule there is no way you can date any zeltbahn made items so you do not want to spend much money on them. The largest majority of these are immediate post war manufacturer and were used for many purposes, cats, packs, trousers.

Gents, Thanks for the information. I never knew about the small yellow dots in the post war Swiss material. I learn something new every day.
Thanks again,
Andy
