Germany, Waffen-SS. An Italian Made Summer Pattern Camouflage Smock

(Waffen-SS Tarnbekleidung). Manufactured in Italy, this well-preserved Waffen-SS summer pattern camouflage smock is constructed of captured Italian M29-style cotton twill. The smock features an adjustable collar manipulated by a drawstring emanating from two eyelets at the front, looped through eight further vertically-arranged eyelets flanking a 280 mm-long frontal slit. The smock bears two vertical, pocket-style slits at each side, opening with flaps reinforced by machine stitching into the interior. The interior of the tunic presents plain with the exception of stamps reading “MAZZONIO”, “43”, “11”, and “416”. The smock is unmarked and measures approximately 789 mm across the shoulders, with a total body length of 805 mm and an arm length 560. There are sporadic patches of soiling to the exterior and some material fatigue reflecting use, but the smock is in an otherwise near extremely fine condition.
