Forum rules


All wanted and sales placed here are private and CiA takes no responsibility for the conduct of these sales . Please do not post trade sales here , if you want to discuss having a trade sales area please contact one of the organisers by PM.

Only WW2 related items be posted on this forum. Look a-like items are fine, but guns (etc) that are clearly not WW2 at all should be avoided.
There are other forums for selling modern airsoft items, lets just keep this one to stuff appropriate to WW2, please.

Also, if you're not intending to make an offer, have a query or buy an item then please don't post.
We don't want for sale threads to go off topic or have loads of "ooo I like that, but can't afford it" posts on them.

When the sale/wanted is complete can you please edit the titles to include the words sold and then lock the thread to show it as complete. Do not delete the thread as it is a valuable guide to going market costs for your fellow forum users.

Bumping After 10 days your post will automatically be given a 'bump' feature - please do not make 'bump' posts prior to this - it's a bit like pushing in the queue!

Whilst we have decided not to stop the advertising of Realistic Imitation Firearms (RIFs) on this forum, please note that as from 1st October 2007 the Violent Crimes Reduction Act severely restricts who and what you can sell to other people. It is the seller's responsibility to ensure that sales complies with current legislation. Under 18's cannot buy or be sold an airsoft gun. Anyone under the age of 18 attempting to buy a RIF will be banned from the forum.

Comrades in Arms offers this free advertising as a service to forum users. We take no part in either vetting sellers or purchasers but ask that sellers show respect for the law and point out that abuse of the dispensation granted to airsofters by the Home Secretary could be adversely affected by thoughtless or reckless sales activity.

Black is an acceptable colour.

Yes, brown would be ideal for the early ones, but he didn't specify that.

Black is certainly better than a Nato one! :)

I'm not sure that I agree. Were any wartime scabbards made in Black?

Thanks for your advice Yith, Stof also told me that this weekend. I have a friend who works with leather, I 'll ask him if there's any way he can re treat it brown. Like you said, better than a Nato one. :good:

It's not usually possible to lighten leather... As a leatherworker myself I'd be very interested to know how if he can!

Personally I use a black one.

Just for info, I got a reply back today from my mate today and you are correct. Apparently there are one or two possible things that might make it work but probably not properly. He did say he could probably make me one in brown but he's off on hols for a month, so that will have to wait.

Black is ok for a MKIV.

Most commonly you see brown blunt end ones with IIs and IIIs. Brown, Blunt and Poppered for Is
