Cypriot Lizard and Sandstone Patterns

Couple of Cypriot patterns I found:

Lizard BDU. Very simple pattern, mistook it for the Cape Verde lizard when I first saw it.






And this unique one I call "Sandstone" based on the colors and since it doesn't have a name, or at least not one I've heard.
Issued to the Cyprus National Guard. Made in China (PRC on the tag). Both BDU's are very similar to the Greek ones in construction and quality.
This one has the Cypriot coat of arms/national crest in the pattern.











Enjoy!

Very cool. Not patterns that are often seen.

There appears to be two basic patterns with some sub variants:

1. Lizard
1a. brown based (made by JET)
1b. Greek pattern

2. Woodland
2a. without emblem in pattern
2b. with emblem

I've only had a few of each in my hand and I can say that there is a fair amount of variation in colors.

Here's a picture of my fully badged Woodland (with emblem) uniform. It is used with significant fading, but far better than some of the totally washed out pieces I've had.

Very nice uniform Steve! I can't tell if it's my monitor but it looks like the stone-grayish color on yours is almost lavender colored.
The insignia is amazing as well, I love seeing foreign patches, especially with different alphabets.
I retook some photos including a comparison of my Cypriot lizard versus my Greek one.

I can see variations mostly in the stone-gray color, with some like mine being more grayish and others like yours are almost lavender.
Haven't had any luck finding the air force blue variant unfortunately.














Cypriot left, Greek right.

great pictures and nice camo variants ... I like it a lot ...
Any hint on sources where to get some of this camo (especially the sandstone one) is much appreciated.
Thank you.

The company that made yours is a Greek company that also makes Greek issue stuff

I really like this pattern, even though it was difficult to get matching sets in the same cloth runs in good condition. They seem to wear these until they can't be worn any longer, then they wear them just a bit more!
