        Its a Fallschirmjäger RZ20 however the harness started life as an RZ16, very ver nice. Did you get it nice and cheap?

            I haven't need to give any money

            Former owner says to me he won't need it any more.
            His family was kept it because of fabric. And I think if the fabric were in differet color they were used it to make some kind of garment.

                  This parachute was NOT for pilots but for paratroopers. As said before the harness is a RZ20 (converted from a RZ16) and issued to the Fallschirmjäger. The labels also confirm this.
