Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:134575 |
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. Rhodesian troops wore a distinctive brush camouflage uniform that quickly became evocative of post-colonial brushfire wars in Africa. This Rhodesia Army Bush War RHODESIAN CAMO FIELD JACKET is in MINT condition, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or damage of any kind to the crisp 100% cotton construct...ion. Most interestingly, it's a Size "3" (translating to a US Size Large/X-Large), retains 100% of the vibrant Rhodesian brush camouflage colors, and is dated "1977" on the original "RAPIER GARMENTS PVT. LTD. / P.O. BOX 1110, SALISBURY" maker's tag at the inside neck. It boasts the classic dual exposed button flap closure chest and lower front pockets, the top two slanted inward at a jaunty angle, features button cuffs and shoulder straps, a three slot pen pocket at the upper left sleeve, "bullseye" stitched sewn elbow reinforcements, and the original light green cotton interior waist drawcord, and sports all of the original khaki plastic buttons throughout. A beautiful example of a very rare, original Rhodesia Army Bush War RHODESIAN CAMO FIELD JACKET, and a great relic of the "savage wars of peace" in Africa. Now celebrating our 20th year on eBay.
