Green-Apple Kradmantel (?)

Does anyone know of any vendor in the UK or in Europe that makes the original looking "Green-Apple" color Kradmantel? I have the grey type that was offered by Hong-Kong Keith and Richard A. Underwood but I would like to be spot on with it, if you know what I mean. Any help is greatly appreciated.

They are a bugger to get hold of at the moment - supplies seem to have dried up. Keep an eye on eBay.de as they come up on there periodically. Also search for 'gummimantel' as that will bring them up (and be prepared for a few other "interesting" items...!).
No one is doing these as repros apart fom the HK guys as far as I'm aware.

Thanks Dave. Yeah, as usual I'll have to keep my eye out for em. I had a chance earlier last year to get a repo but I got the grey one. I thought I'd be happy with it.............wrong! Does not look good or feel right. Too use to seeing the Green ones.

Grey ones are just as correct to be honest. The green ones tend to be the post war Polizei ones as a rule!

Even if they have that dark-grey thin wool collar?
