Germany, Wehrmacht. A Splinter Pattern A Camouflage Hood

(Wehrmacht Tarn-Kapuze). A well-preserved splinter pattern “A” camouflage hood used by Heer and Luftwaffe personnel, constructed of a cotton duck material. The exterior is dyed with a mottle consisting of a khaki-tan base overlaid by dark brown and green irregular geometric shapes. The base is in turn overlaid by dark green splinters distributed across the mottle. It features a flared skirt reinforced along the seams with dual lengths of machine stitching. The hood closes with a functional non-magnetic metal snap button which, in combination with a drawstring looped through the structure, ensures a secure closure. It is unmarked and measures 485 mm (w) x 590 mm (h) when folded on a flat surface. The interior demonstrates minor soiling, while four spots of stitching repair are visible, including one which has been patched with an additional piece of identical material, with an additional unrepaired tear at the top front. The hood is in an overall very fine condition.
