This is the most commonly encountered reproduction of the TAP 47/52 and as of 2018 is being actively produced (https://onlinemilitaria.net/products/6281-French-TAP-4752-Para-Lizard-Camo-Jacket/). The camouflage pattern is printed with semi-opaque green on top. Brushstrokes do not appear “natural”. Items made with this reproduction cloth are often sold as “originals” on eBay after heavy laundering and bleach, though the distinct print shapes are still discernable which immediately outs them as counterfeit.
Smock:
TAP cut trousers were also produced (https://onlinemilitaria.net/products/6295-French-TAP-4752-Para-Lizard-Camo-Trousers/). Trouser pictures pending. The jacket and trousers was acquired years before productuion resumed.
