Danny P Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hello, I would like to buy an original British WWII camo scrim scarf but I really don't know the differences between British WWII versus post war/repro's. So I have added a picture and hope somebody can tell me if this particular one is original British WWII or post war/repro? Many thanks, Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny P Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Now I am really confused! I got some replies from well known WWII militaria dealers but they are contradictory. Reply 1: They usually have a line of cord going one way and 2 loosed type cords going the other way which this one does seem to have.The French military did copy them early post war but they tend to be of a much larger size. Saying that I know that dealers used to buy the French ones and cut them in half to make the standard British size so it really is not easy. Reply 2: They need to have 4 loosed type cords going one way as presented in attached pictures Reply 3: The brown color needs to be light brown. Post war or repro's are darker brown So this is not helping me very much indeed! I thought buying a British WWII camo scarf or face veil would be easy! Who is right and is knowing for sure?
