Issued Swedish Four Color "Knäppetält" M39 Poncho/Shelter Half
One could argue that you're looking at Sweden's first-ever camouflage pattern for troops. With only one preceding pattern having been meant for artillery and vehicles, these M39 shelters are an amazing piece of history. The pattern consists of green, brown, light brown, and grey in non-overlapping blotches. Each piece has varying wash and wear; color saturation will vary.
In terms of design, these M39s are effectively 1:1 copies of the German WW2 era "Zeltbahn" shelter halves. This gives these shelters a dual purpose; they may function as a tent or alternatively can be folded and worn (in multiple configurations) as a camouflage poncho.
Condition:
This design of shelter half saw use from roughly the 1930s to the 1980s; as a result, many of these pieces are quite old and heavily used. Expect some minor rust, repairs, and just about anything short of holes.
