A marvelous rare ensemble from the former cold war power, EAST GERMANY. A lightly used, larger sized, Paratrooper camouflage uniform complete with field gray Beret, and New/Unused Jump Boots, also in a larger size. The camo pattern is the distinctive East German 'Rain Drop'. The tunic is labeled 'K 52' and the pants are 'M 52'. I am 6' 1", 185 lbs, and can get into them. In case you don't know the difference from the regular NVA Army camo BDU to the NVA Paratroop, here are some of the details: The Paratrooper tunic is shorter and has fabric ribbing at the collar and sleeve ends; there is a flap/baffle system for the buttons on the front; there are elastic cinch straps at the bottom hem of the tunic - all of the above to fight the chill of being Airborne! Also there are reinforcing pads on the elbows and various loops sewn on randomly on the outside - seem to be there maybe for securing foliage or grass as camo? This is the 'later' version where rank insignia is applied with a sewn loop on the upper sleeve rather than shoulder boards. As for the Paratroop pants, they too have reinforcing fabric pads in the knee area, special loops sewn on for a Paratrooper knife, and cinch and ankle straps at the bottom of the legs. The Beret has the fabulously made embroidered EG Paratrooper patches, a leather band with ribbon tie for size adjustment,
