| Original Unissued Zeltbahn | ||||||||
| This foto is of an original unissued German WW2 Zeltbahn manufactured from WW2 era Italian camouflage. This foto shows the 3 verticle seams needed to construct the zelt. The Italian camouflage material was printed on narrower spools of fabric than was the German fabric. The buttons on this example are all the steel 3 hole variety commonly found on other German produced zeltbahnen. I have another original italian camo zelt in my collection but it is well worn. This by far is one of my best examples of color & maker marked Italian camouflage in my entire collection. | ||||||||
