SS overall/Kombi camo pattern requested for identification

[fenriswolf]

Hi folks,
my first post here, because of that: I need an "educated guess" on the following Tarnmuster of a very nice Panzerkombi. (damm, how can I attach an image - posting rules says "no attachments"?)

Background of my question: I was not able to find out if it´s Rauchtarn-, Eichenlaub- or Platanentarnmuster.
The design is very atypic and seems to be a combination/derivation of all 3 above mentioned patterns. The main outer side is fall color, the inner (not really reversible side - because the chest pockets and the belt are sewn "à demeure" - is spring).
I turned up a sleeve to show the difference in taints.

Your comments, inputs and questions are highly appreciated.
If somebody can tell me how to post pics easely here...

Kind regards,
FeWo

Na wunderbar, das ist ja ein recht kalter Willkommensgruß!

Who shall I contact to pay the "posting fee of 25 $"? This concerning, the site is somewhat -unübersichlich-, to say so. But "site vets" can certainly drag me to the right place.

S´il y a des francais/québecois qui sont actifs sur ce site, j´apprécierai leur contact.

Cheers,
FeWo

There is a tab "A.Member" on top right corner of the home page. Click that and it will get you though.

Mahlzeit!

Looks real, indeed...but what kind of pattern is it finally?
I wasn´t able to define it. The strong underline of the dots (Umrandung) is particular and I haven´t seen that on other samples.

eichenlaub B tarnung

eichenlaub B tarnung

OK, Eichenlaub B seems correct, basically. There is, nevertheless, a dark green "overprint" that appears on the fall side and which leaves the optical impression of blurred edge. This was confusing me.
After closer inspection, I realised now that the supposed dark green "overprint" is in fact a dye fade-through effect on the cotton cloth, resulting from the dark green printing on the spring side.

Besslein: thank you for the "geistiger Anstubser". This was helpful.

Here the complete view of the Kombi (fall side):

F, Do you believe this piece to be pre 45?

Oakleaf B. No question about pattern. I do not think 1 zeltbahn could be used to make this entire piece. I dont see from these photos any other material. So it was either made from big bolt of original material post-war ......or it was made pre-May 45 and is a custom made /tailored piece. All depends on other materials used and looks like ti might have a good chance of being pre 45. Good Luck

FeWo, can you post close-ups of the button holes from the front closure and the pockets? Also the stitching used to construct the piece and do you notice any previous stitch lines anywhere on the piece?
