It's a mountain cap that happens to be camo. Not mountain camo. A mountain cap is a field cap based on the WWII German M43 cap. They are (were) used by many countries. Germany, Austria, Czech and the Italian ones are very similar. Maybe some countries outside of Europe also. Many are cheap copies of original military caps but there are many original military caps available that are the same style.

German border guard is very similar some years.

This is suppose to be waffen-ss Sumpftarn camouflage and later was border guard.

Tarnmütze- Swamp

Cotton field cap in Tan & Water, Sumpftarntarn, camo pattern. Sumpftarn was worn by German elite troops and after the war by the BGS, the German border guard.

WOW! Thank you so such an informative response. Seriously, no sarcasm. I searched but only found "hunting" camo, no military. I could tell it was of the "older" era, possibly WWII. I just like it and wondered if it was available in jackets & pants.
