    Unknown SS camo for review

    I was shown this smock recently and it had a camo pattern that I was not familiar with... "Poly spot" or something its called?
    It never became widely used since the dot '44 (Erbsentarn) camo tunics were introduced to replace such smocks all together...
    So it was issued in limited quantities and hardly documented since its the forerunner of Dot '44 camo...???
    Thoughts?
    Never seen it before so I thought I would share it with the experts (and its not in any of my books like this...)!

    Looks like plane tree but, the material is drill I think. Atleast that first photo it does you can see the lines real well.

      Yeah it does but way more spots and not so much green....
      I guess just a planetree variant?

          More erbsen (Dot) than anything else...which is why I find it so interesting...
          so a mix with plantanen tarn...This is different...

            The pattern that started this thread is Polyspot which is a variant of the Plane Tree pattern
            It was produced in 1941 so it is not "the forerunner of Dot '44 camo"
            Beaver said that it was likely the last fully hand-screened pattern

                  Lines are all over the picturs, so IMO its a pictur from a computerscreen

                    Cool! So it predates Erbsentarn by a lot...I assumed it was later...and a forerunner of erbsentarn.
                    The owner said it was this special and rare camo...."Polyspot"...Worth showing!
                    Rarer than Palmenmuster?
                    Here's the entire impression

                      Looks promising but I would personally like to see some better pictures.

                            That is one strange set of angles to show a smock pattern ? is it a first or second model smock ?
