kammo-man Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted December 6, 2015 Nice to find a cool piece of a random flea market booth with no other military items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 6, 2015 Share #3 Posted December 6, 2015 Nice camo kammo man! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted December 6, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 6, 2015 Nice item. This is the kind of thing that troops actually used in various exercises. You'd be surprised what showed up on field exercises, especially for the troops that were playing recon or "aggressor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted December 7, 2015 On the way to the flea market I seen a yard sale with a VERY special sign that had my wife and myself in stitches laughing There was nothing to buy but it sure was funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted December 7, 2015 Share #10 Posted December 7, 2015 Okay, I am going to hijack the thread. Here is another example of self made camouflage. This photo was taken at a Dallas show, so it is at least 20 years ago. But it is still one of the neatest things I've ever seen.... and did not have the sense to buy! (I hate helmets and field jackets take up way too much space!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted December 7, 2015 WOW . Highjack away and own this thread please. I bow down to your eye at gun shows.

Hi Owen, sorry nothing in camo tankers, I once had a WWII HBT shirt in a fantastic hand applied camo pattern, sadly it had been hung on a wooden hanger for so long both shoulders had rotted through, I traded it on with a friend for something else. lewis .
