This is an M42 type 1 smock having the horizontal lower pockets. The smock is showing a printed, reversible, Oakleaf ‘A’ (Eichenlaubmuster A) camouflage pattern camouflage. The camouflage pattern has distinctly different colorations to the summer and autumn sides. The smock was closed by a cloth closure tie string, the tie string is regrettably not present. The elastic elastic around the waistline and the tunnel looped elastics at each cuff are in perfect condition.  The sleeves have open vented armpits. The smock has no visible manufacturer’s or size markings.
Buttons are post war production.
From Army deposits, never used on frontline.
