RARE GENUINE GUINEA-BISSAU PIXELATED CAMOUFLAGE COMBAT JACKET
MARPAT DERIVATIVE - SMALL SIZE
GRADE-1 USED CONDITION - ONE MALE PRESS STUD TO LOWER POCKET COME AWAY
For sale here is a rather hard to come by genuine Guinea Bissau military issue combat jacket, the camouflage pattern is clearly derived from USMC MARPAT camouflage and the coat has a basic BDU type feel but it has press studs to the pockets (Pebbled like German issue), and has the national flag emblem patch on the sleeve. These are well made jackets which have a much better quality feel than many other African military uniforms I have come across< i suspect there were made in Europe (Probably France).
CONDITION: Jacket is in Grade-1 used condition, it has been issued and worn and it is not mint, there is general light wear from service use, there is one small flaw in that one of the lower pocket male press studs has come away from the cloth, it is still present attached to the female stud (See photos), and you may be able to fix it back in with some fettling if it bothered you. There are a few very small white paint spots to the lower front near the hem, the photos were taken before I laundered the jacket but having washed it these have faded considerably and I think should wash out after another few trips in the washing machine (I am being VERY fussy here!), otherwise, there are no issues to note and this is a perfectly respectable service used example.
SIZE: The size label is no longer legible but this is something like a US SMALL-REGULAR, a generous Small which should fit those up to around 5'10", on the tape measure it comes up as follows: 45" chest (22.5" pit-to-pit), 19" across the shoulders, 18.5" under-arm, 30.5" from rear collar seam to bottom hem of jacket.
ONE ONLY, in need of a good new home in someone's camouflage collection!
