Own a piece of camouflage history! Condition is very good, these appear unissued. However, they have been in storage for 80+ years, so they may appear dirty. They were stored with talcum powder to protect against moisture, it is recommended to rinse them with a hose first, before soaking in hot water and some detergent to restore their flexibility as storage has left them stiff.
