Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:133263 |
Rhodesia fought a grueling 15 year bush war against two insurgent groups, ZIPRA and ZANLA. Though small, her army was extremely professional, and was never defeated in the field. Operation Thrasher was the defense of the eastern border of Rhodesia in the late 1970s, aimed at stemming guerrilla attacks, as well as for the Rhodesians to launch their own "externals" against communist sanctuaries in Mozambique. Some troopers in that region wore the classic Monogram OD T-shirt emblazone...d with vehicles and operations at front. This Rhodesian Army Bush War MONOGRAM PUMA & "OP. THRASHER" OD BASE T-SHIRT is in very good condition, with only some light overall fading and age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the T-shirt is in fine shape, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or other damage to the tough OD 100% cotton construction. Most interestingly, it bears the classic silhouette of a Puma (Rhodesian APC) emblazoned at front, above and to the left of "OP. THRASHER". It's about a Size 40, features the traditional ribbed crew neck and short sleeves, and carries the original "Monogram" maker's label inside. A fine example of a very rare, original Rhodesian Army Bush War MONOGRAM PUMA & "OP. THRASHER" OD BASE T-SHIRT, and a great relic of the "savage wars of peace" in Africa.
