SAPS PATTERN 1 - CHEST WEBBING

SAPS PATTERN 1 - CHEST WEBBING

The South African Police (SAP) adopted its distinctive camouflage pattern in 1969, featuring grass green and russet foliage on a khaki background. This design, derived from a civilian model available in the 1960s, remained essentially unchanged until 1972, when it introduced the notable 'smudge' and 'pinwheel' shapes, which led to its nickname as the 'pinwheel pattern.'

By the early 1980s, the SAP had transitioned to the more recognizable second pattern camouflage, and the original first pattern uniforms had nearly vanished by the 1990s.

Today, items from the original SAP camouflage pattern are scarce and highly sought after by collectors.

### Historical Significance: The first SAP camouflage represents a significant era in South African policing and military history, especially during the Border War, making it invaluable for enthusiasts.
