Here are a couple of pieces that I've picked up photos on over the years. I'm not sure who owns them but they are great pieces. This is an Italian camouflaged jacket of an SS-Unterscharfuhrer of Artillery. Note the covered buttons on the front and the drawstring at the bottom. Other insignia includes a Bevo sleeve eagle.

Here is a camouflaged field cap with insignia. I think this is pictured in Mike Beaver's book but I think the picture came to me from another collector. I think this belongs to Delich. It shows the autumn side out.

The only other picture I have of camouflaged uniforms, etc. is this piece of camouflaged cap insignia, summer side.

I cannot tell but assume the jacket was field-made but it was well done.
I also have a picture of the green camouflaged eagle that I can put up later. Does anybody have pictures of the brown camouflaged insignia. Out of the four pieces of camouflaged insignia, the green skull seems to be the most common piece to find, although that in itself is like finding chicken's teeth.

I went digging into my archives and found this one... this was taken on a photo shoot of this uniform for an article in that French militaria magazine in the early 90s. How many of these are still around? And look at the condition!

I believe that is the camo suit owned by Willi Schumacher - absolutely mint and unissued (still had paper tags in the pockets). He also has a cap like Delich's. Very expensive, very rare.

You could be right Patent... I used to correspond with a guy who was a good friend of Willi and we passed many pictures back and forth. I had forgotten who they belonged to. I'll have to change the filenames to include Willi's name so I know who they belong to.
He's got some damned nice stuff...

What has happened to this forum? This forum used to be THE place to go. I remember checking it several times during the day because of all the activity.
Let's try this one...

Hi Bill,
Nice picture(s) you posted, especially the camo suit. The dot HBT tunic looks like it's made of thicker material... the color are great.

Hi Fred,
Actually the 'camo suite' is the two-piece panzer camouflaged uniform, not the combination. There were 2 panzer camouflaged uniforms that were combinations, that is like a one-piece jump suit. The next two were 2-piece with the first ones coming out in 1943 and made with HBT material that were printed on both sides with the Oakleaf "A" pattern, but the uniforms themselves were not made to be reversible. And of course the last and final version was with the dot pattern camouflaged pattern, printed on one side only.
I think this last one I put up is in Mike Beaver's book.
Bill
