Description

W. German field jacket, 3rd BGS Sumpfmuster camo pattern, appears unissued.  This pattern was discontinued in 1976 but was still in use into the 1980's.  size 205/71.  I bought this jacket about 20 or 25 years ago from a European broker who said it was unissued surplus.
Still has some threads loose from the original manufacturing and stitching. .
It's been in storage since.  As with most German items, very well made with lots of pockets inside and out and metal loops in the back for attaching things.  This is a field jacket, not a shirt, so the material is heavy and thick. Weights just under 4 lbs. Looks water resistant.  European size is  205/71.. I wear an XL and fits me fine (see photos).  I'm not up on NATO size conversions to us so buyer needs to make sure the 205/71 will fit.    This would make a great collectable.  Doubt you would find one in this good condition.  A comment, this jacket design does not include a zipper.  it buttons up
