April 15, 2018Camouflage, Cold War, Early Cold War (1945 - 1968), France

These jackets are a more “lightweight” version of the standard TTA47. Most notably they were not produced with lower pockets.

Sample 1:

Has lizard camouflage print on a similar poplin fabric to TAP 47/54. Named and dated to 1954. Shoulder reinforcements are a post-1952 feature. Buttons do not appear to be original to uniform.

Sample 2:

Khaki color on HBT fabric with shoulder reinforcements, both post-1952 features. Dated to 1954. Altered because epaulets (shoulder straps) were removed. Shoulder sleeve diamond was pinned on with very old safety pin (rust from pin transferred to cloth).
