African Camo Uniform

[leigh kitchen]

I found this in my garage, it's African. I have the sleeve badge for it somewhere, the national flag, & also photos of the original owner wearing identical camo, but just can't remember which country it's from - any ideas please?

Zambia!

Sometimes called the "wiggly stripe" pattern.

(If you're into exotic camouflage, the book "DPM" (Maharishi/Hardy Blechman, London, 2004) is an invaluable resource. It's available new or used on Amazon, although it usually runs over $100 and weighs close to ten pounds....)

Cheers,

Thanks, I only have the unform because I was given it, it's more a souvenir than anythng else.

The only other camo I have is a load of Yugo stuff, various patterns & styles, again "souvenirs", it's about time I put some effort into finding out more about those.
