Unknown SS camo for review

[NickG]

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.

[NickG]

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

[Anderson-Alex]

Looks like a combined pattern erbsentarn and plantanen

[NickG]

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

[Palmenmuster]

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

Yes it looks very promising and yes it is a lot rarer then Palm Tree

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