Description

*Note* Grade 2 items can have a wide variety of issues ranging from stains, holes, extensive repairs, fading or other damage. See last 2 photos for some examples

These combat trousers made their way into The National People's Army of East Germany for over 30 years. Starting in 1968, they were manufactured and issued up until 1990. The Rain Camo pattern (Strichmuster) was influenced by WW2 German designs such as Splittermuster and Sumpftarn. "Rain" refers to the camouflage pattern, these are not waterproof trousers.

Issued to the NVA (Nationale Volksarmee) as 'summer' trousers, though the fabric remains moderately heavy weight. The name is used to differentiate these from the winter trousers which may have been insulated. These trousers feature two slash pockets and cargo pockets, all with button closures to secure in any contents. Around the inside of the partially elasticated waist are metal D-rings which can be used to attach suspenders. Two pebbled buttons around either ankle allow the cuffs to be adjusted. 

These Grade 2's have seen a fair amount of action and have seen better days. With a bit of TLC these could be made operable or used for spare parts for those Cold War camo projects!

Great condition at a great price

I bought these trou as a collector of camo, filling in a gap I’ve been aware of for some time. Not wanting heavy winter weight these really fit the bill. A few minor marks and some rusty fittings were really the only issue with these trou. Waist size was spot on and length was regular, just right. After a soak and a wash to cover the surplus storage smell we all know and love these will join the other NVA gear I’ve gathered. Also came with some free rusty bolts in the pocket, maybe some technician put them there and subsequently lost them, having to explain to loss to supply later on. Go figure … cheers
