BIGREDONE Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have four WW2 British Army dated 1944 bivi two man tents. Two are coloured tan and the other two are dark brown and both have the mosi nets at both ends. So my questions are: 1. Why the two colours? 2. Is one of earlier production? 3. Which colour is the most desirable in collecting terms? Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdbikemad Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The chocolate-brown colour may be the earlier.....it is commonly encountered on 1942-era webbing equipment, such as battle jerkins, skeleton vests, bren gun holdalls, etc, so the same theory may apply to tents, etc...... I had a 2-man British tent a few years ago now that was made in a cammo pattern material.......the base colour was green with brown cammo patterning printed on top (very irregular in pattern and unlike the other patterns found on Denisons, etc)............
