Here’s an old tiger that I own as used in Paul’s book

I haven’t seen this in years and was in my garage

I am surprised you didn’t notice the k2 cut underneath with it’s pointed collar showing.

See the sleeve pocket is on the right?

Custom made for a southpaw no doubt

Also an early tiger print that’s lime green to the eye

A tiger painted helicopter helmet from the Richie grouping.

It’s part of a large grouping to a Japanese American who was interned as a child in WW2 and who went on to join 10th group and ultimately served in Vietnam.

The Richie grouping is one of my favorite sets in my collection

The helmet is a work of art.

Here’s the tiger pattern.

The helmet has seen extensive use and was touched up many times

It’s also hard to photo without a real camera set up which I have done for my camouflage book.

He was part of the original training cadre of the Redondo school and no doubt helmet was used for instruction overflights.

Here’s his name and insignia painted in a unique camouflage to match the stripes of the pattern

As typical a mis marched tiger suit is worn by him

 

When dealing with veterans groupings this is quite common

It’s usually only Collector’s who need to perfectly match up washes and dye lots.

 

I have no problem with mis matched suits as photography proves this time and time again
