Description
In 1941, Fallschirmjäger adopted the RZ20 (Rückfallschirm, Zwangablösung or “Backpack Parachute, Static Line Deployment”) parachute, which is distinguished from its predecessors by the harness’s four quick-release ports. Each release port can be opened by two quick actions. The RZ-36 differed from the RZ-20, by having a delta-shaped parachute (based on the Soviet design); as well as a separate harness system. This new design offered less of a shock to the wearer upon opening, and less swinging motion during the drop and a softer landing. Made by cotton, canvas, and silk, this LATE-WAR “backpack type” RZ-36 Parachute & Harness are in EXCELLENT unused condition! FANTASTIC and COMPLETE, all quick release buckles function correctly (though some tabs are a bit sticky to insert). As it is in used condition, there is some slight scratching on the metal fittings, as well as some marks and wear due to the age, but nothing that detracts. It comes complete with the harness system, static line, camouflaged canopy, and outer bag. The camouflaged parachute canopy is packed tightly inside the bag, and is 100% complete. The outer bag itself is nicely marked, and indicates:
