Original Belgian Early Cold War Era 1950s Experimental Leibermuster Camouflage Jacket - WWII German Designed Camouflage
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Now this is an incredible piece of Belgian armed forces history. This camouflage jacket, while appearing to be German WWII, is actually an early 1950s Belgian camouflage jacket. The type of camo pattern used is the WWII German designed “Leibermunster”. Designed during the Second World War by German engineer Helmut Leiber, the Leibermuster camouflage pattern was considered for use by Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany in the mid-1950s as a multinational design for a potential European Defense Union. Although an order was placed for some 20,000 uniforms by Belgium, the Defense Union idea never moved past the development stage and, ultimately, Leibermuster was not implemented by the Belgian Armed Forces.
For being only 1 of the 20,000 example produced, one could say that these are quite rare! The camouflage is still easily discernible and the jacket itself is free of any extensive damage. These sets were never implemented, meaning that this was never issued out and worn!
A fantastic example ready for further research and display.
