Never-before-seen Pre-Loreng Darah Mengalir Kopassandha

This never-before-seen pre-“Loreng Darah Mengalir” or Flowing Blood camouflage was issued to Indonesian special forces group.

Update: 19 December 2024
660 days later, after examining countless pictures and scanning many.. finally found the only one that using this exact print. The “non-solid brushstroke” of the Darah Mengalir pattern, used around the mid-1970s. Ultra-rare variant. Happy day.


This camo is based on WW2-era British Denison brushstroke pattern, and after consulting with the Camo God–Mr. Owen, this is a very early version of the crude copy!

Camouflage pattern is similar to the known Flowing Flood pattern, but there are “holes” instead of solid strokes and a brushstroke “alike” pattern. It’s made from selvage fabric.

The detail includes button snaps on both chest pockets, epaulets, V-gusset, and inner panel (similar to Denison smock).

I’ve searched online and visited Satriamandala Museum before but have had no luck.
