Don't know who made this or where it's from. There are no tags or markings. The guy I bought it from said it was from Africa. The camo fabric is definitely Hungarian.

Just kidding of course - I think the maker obtained somewhere surplus M49 shelter halves and produced such fantasy items. A few years ago there was a whole suit (in the french TAP-cut) and more berets on eBay, offered as Indochina-War relics. As I remember, the maker even added a few french-looking stamp to the garment, but there were also the original hungarian stamps ...
