Germany, Heer. A Reversible Winter Camouflage Gebirgsjäger Windjacke

(Heer Windjacke für Mannschaften der Gebirgstruppe). A well-preserved Heer Gebirgsjger Windjacke, constructed of a field-grey, weather-hardened, cotton/linen cloth base. The opposite side retains the majority of its wartime white paint, allowing the Windjacke to be turned inside-out for camouflage in winter conditions. A V-neck collar closes with an original drawstring fitted through five sets of dual loops with magnetic metal grommets, while the collar also retains a hood. The analogous components include three pockets are distributed across the chest, each fastening closed with a pressed card stock button meeting a reinforced buttonhole, with two additional pockets set into the waistband. The cuffs retain functional integral belts closing with magnetic metal buckles for flush closure against the elements. An integral belt emanates from the back of the waist and is perforated with four reinforced buttonholes meeting a pressed card stock button. The interior of the V-neck is stamped with a Reichsbetriebsnummer (RBNr.) of “01/1007/5580” for an unidentified manufacturer, with a size mark of “2”. Measuring approximately 58 cm across the shoulders, with an arm length of 54 cm, and an overall body length of 77 cm, it demonstrates moderate material fatigue to the base material, with loss of white paint to the winter side, and some oxidation of the metal fixtures. The Windjacke remains in a near extremely fine condition.
