I have seen these in the flesh and they are spot on bar the buttons. Nice material too.

I do like the Gebirgsjäger smocks. Were they really produced in all the camo patterns that the repro smocks are available in?

I thought it was only grey/white or tan &water/white. Anyone know for sure?

Yes there is original SS camo and tan and water out there but these were mainly Private Purchase to start with.There is talk that SS camo anoraks were made for Issue to troops but the numbers were very small thats why we dont see many of them in photos or even now

Ingo You seen to Have only read the first part of my post ,I will break it down into two parts for you

Yes there is original SS camo and tan and water out there but these were mainly Private Purchase to start with.

Thats the First part

There is talk that SS camo anoraks were made for Issue to troops but the numbers were very small thats why we dont see many of them in photos or even now

Like I said in the post that the numbers were small so not seen as a large scale issue the ones your friend has could be from were they were stored till a large number could be made for general issue to the troops.Of corse if they were Issued it it is odd that the 2 true germanic(6thNord 7th Prinz Eugen) SS Gebrigsjäger Divisions did not get them

AND IN THE MANY YEARS I HAVE BEEN HUNTING I HAVE SEEN BOTH
