1970s Swedish trial camo

Recommended Posts

Hi

I’m searching for any information or pictures available on a camo pattern trial by Sweden in the 1970s, hopefully since a few of you are from Sweden you can help.

Background

In the 1970s Sweden trialed a 4 colour desert camo developed by Barracuda. From what I have found it wasn’t taken up and was only produced in relatively small quantities, which are next to impossible to ‘physically’ find these days.

The pattern utilised 4 colours (black, white, salmon pink and light grey) as little circles and two colours (black and grey) as ‘blocks’.

For a reference to see the basis of what I’m talking about, I know of two variants that exist, one was made by Louis Vuitton in 1999 (haven’t found a pic) and the other by Mhi called 'nuncheck' or ‘nungcheck’ see here. As far as I can tell the nungcheck pattern retains the original camo pattern as trialed and only adds the grid and changes the colours used.

If anyone has any info/pics on the original camo pattern trialed by the Swedish military could u please post here or PM me.

Thanks.
