Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:134660 |
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 COMBAT SHIRT is in fair condition, with some stitch holes and a dark rectangular shadow at the right chest where an "ARMY" t...ab once was, some light tearing under the bottom front button, some scattered fraying around the collar, some scattered small holes at front and back, some loose seam stitching along the back underarms, the sleeves having been neatly shortened at some point long ago, missing the maker's tag from the inside neck, and with moderate overall fading and age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the shirt is in fair shape, with no other damage to the tough 100% cotton construction. Most interestingly, it's a Size 38, retains a fair amount of the original Rhodesian brush camouflage colors, and boasts the classic single exposed button flap closure pleated chest pockets. It sports button shoulder straps, features all of the original small green plastic buttons throughout, and is an honest example of a very rare, original Rhodesia Army Bush War RHODESIAN CAMO FIELD COMBAT SHIRT. A great relic of the "savage wars of peace" in Africa. Now celebrating our 20th year on eBay.
