THE OLDEST BULGARIAN CAMOUFLAGE COVERALL SUIT, 1953!

We are presenting you a paratrooper's camouflage coverall dated to 1953!!!!

After WWII, the camouflage uniforms used by the communist army were very similar to the WWII German splinter pattern uniforms. Sets with this pattern were made for the first paratrooper and secret service officers of the communist army. In fact, our camouflage coverall can be defined as one of these coveralls of rarity.

The hood of this camouflage is NOT removable, compared to the other, officer's model we are offering. This model lacks pockets on the thighs, and has a cord built-in instead of the waist belt characterizing the officer's model.

At the chest part are placed two big pockets divided in three sections for keeping AK cartridges and other fighting arm equipment. Two small flap pockets are sewn at the waist section. Below them are visible two hand pockets. All the buttons are made of black colored bakelite with pentacles on them. Only the hood buttons lack the pentacles. Inside the camouflage section are placed ink stamps by the factory that carried out the military order. On both sides are visible stamps revealing the size of the camouflage size. There is also a factory stamp of quality by “Sickle and Hammer State factory” in Gabrovo, with quality control number and the year of 1953.

The camouflage is in never-used condition. Besides the shoulders are visible white, original size labels of the factory producer.The suit is in perfect, unused condition, with original textile labels on the chest issued by the military producer. As the cut is universal, the camouflage can be worn with other clothes underneath as well as on naked skin.

We offer these paratrooper sets in 1st, 2nd and 3rd size. On buying the item, please let us know which size you would prefer.
