Very nice condition 1930/40s Swiss Splittertarn (Splinter Camouflage) poncho/shelter half. Although extremely similar to Splinter patterns used by the 3rd Reich, it is easy to tell the difference. For one it is cut in a square and not a triangle like all German examples. The other is that on one side the camouflage has faint yellow "rain" strokes in addition to the standard strokes, the other side's camouflage lacks the extra rain strokes. Third, there are some breaks in the shapes that is not present in the German patterns. Lastly, it comes with a matching tentpole bag and poles/stakes, whereas the Germans rolled their poles/stakes up into the shelter itself.

Overall condition is excellent, though there are about a half dozen professional military repairs to the shelter. These consist of circles of the fabric glued onto what are probably small holes. This auction includes everything you see.

ATTENTION!!! If you win do *not* send payment to me until you receive an invoice (this takes about 1-2 days). The reason is eBay's mandatory postage estimator is very often wrong and charges the seller too much money. For example, it doesn't take into account flat rate shipping options. Thanks!!
