TTA47 "toutes armes" or "modèle général", "modèle allégé"
47 is the year of introducing"modèle général" jacket 4 pockets
The "modèle allégé" is a modification of the TTA47 but I have not find information for the introducing of the model
The pant is identical for the 2 modelsI don't know why many people put another number after the year of TTA47
For the TAP47, it the year of modification ( see my website)TTA47 was used until beginning of the year 80, the product of the "modèle allégé" was stopped
after the Algérian warAfter Algerian war, only used in Africa by French troop because the camouflage was prohibited in
FranceFor the garment build after Algerian war, they have a stamp on the top of the shoulder
