bravo_2_zero Posted May 21, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2020 I picked this up on my travels. Coat/trousers special forces airborne , 1970’s RDF design adopted in 1976 ( first year of production ) for operations in the Middle East by Spec Ops. The suit is a multi purpose outfit that can be worn as a hot or cold weather with a button in M51/65 liner both trousers and coat. These are not the 1972 trials desert uniform , these however could have been a part of the later MASTERS tests in 1975 or as a result of. These were decommissioned and sold as surplus to Saudi which this uniform has been.. I have included the original 1977 label and the replacement , the replacement still carries the US DLA numbers.

AKC123 Posted May 21, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 21, 2020 Very nice. Any Idea as to the maker? I have a 77 DPSC contract RDF cut, but in Brown Dominant ERDL. Interesting to see a standard DSA contract number I would of thought something like this would have been made in house. Thanks for posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
