  • Original Item: Only One Available. This is an Original German Paratrooper (Fallschirmjäger) RZ 20 parachute, packed inside the original canvas carry bag, complete with handles and lift-the-dot closures. All of this is contained inside the original steel transit chest. The parachute is white silk and still retains the original suspension lines. It has however had some of the canopy cut off, and about half of the suspension lines are no longer attached. Most likely the silk was used to fashion something else before the parachute was found by a USGI.


    The canopy is nicely marked:
