I haven't seen the pics of the above pea coats, could you provide a link, please?Zoepf wrote:Gowen Militaria and Trident both carry an East German Pea Coat, are they the late pattern and too lightly colored?
It may be almost impossible to actually tell from a photograph, but one of our members had a late NVA one. It was made of a very shiny, man-made material and was almost a royal blue, instead of a navy blue, in colour. Later ones tend not to have the light blue collar patches, although some early ones have had them removed as well.
Another thing to be aware of with NVA jackets is that most are very small (to fit teenagers) as well. So please be careful of the measurements and sizes.
