    Green Lizard uniform recently purchased from a forum member .



                                                                                                  Lizards Dscn1016



    And a lovely Red Lizard shirt                                                                                       
                                                                                                 Lizards Dscn1017




    Same basic pattern ,different colors and orientation :180 degrees.  

    I call these patterns  Pidgeon Lizard .  I see a large bird looking shape in the pattern.


                                                                                                Lizards Dscn1018

                                                                                             

    One of the most radical patterns, IMHO.. I call this one the Blowfish patter.

    Ah, beautiful haul! Those last trousers are sometimes known in Farsi as the "atishi" (Fire) pattern, I've been hunting for a pair for a long time, they are very had to find even in Iran these days.
    The first vertical lizard sets reminds me of the Greek Marine "Seaweed" pattern uniforms also from the same time period.

    Thank you. The pants are really something.  Pattern is awesome !  Trying to convince a friend to relinquish a complete set.. Child soldiers are sometimes  seen in Iraq war period photos wearing " Fire " variants...

    Dark green set is quite unusual looking. Iranian lizard tends to favor red lizard variants over the many different homemade  lizard variants.  It does remind of Greek vertical "Seaweed"..

    Not a perfect match, but love it just the same..   I am quite certain that those who wore those were not so concerned about matching uniforms.
