    Hi, bought a box at auction, and this tent (Zeltbahn?) was one of the things in it. Does anyone know what country it comes from, whether it is even militarily?
    Kind Regards Tom

    Definitely Swedish, most likely from the 1950s. Tons of them were dumped onto the market along with other Swedish gear from the 1940s through 1980s. The colors vary quite a lot. Sometimes they are so dark it's hard to see what the camouflage value is. The ones shown here are very nice, contrasty examples.

    The Norwegians used the same cloth very briefly. However, they cut it into their unique extended diamond shaped zeltbahns. There's no confusing the two even though the cloth is the same.
