Like the outfit, Rammix, and the ring on the right hand is a nice touch - easily missed :happyclap:

BTW, I don't think the bling is over the top

cheers :D

the tunic, trousers and great coat I got from the Angels Costume sale in London last year :) there is a label in the uniform saying tailored in Paris :shock: cant make out the tailors name, heard that the angels gear was used in various war films from the 60's and 70's :D

only paid £60 for the lot :good: also got some nice US gear as well, some of it original :D

Yeah I went to the Angels sale - couldn't believe how many people were there.

I'm a hero with coward's legs.

Ah, that makes sense. It's a bit different from the repro M36 tunics that most people get. The collars are a lot more pointy and the colour seems more gray.

Reminds me of this chap:

:D I think Im better looking?? :rofl:

was thinking of getting the collars sorted on the tunic but seems a shame to cut it :P its definitely a lot lighter than normal, but that could be due to the age of the uniform 8)

No, I wouldn't touch it. If there's period photos of EM wearing collars like that, then it's authentic :good:

Same with the colour - originals have huge variations in shade so you're fine as you are.

collars were also swapped.

You will see examples of M36 dark green collars on M40's,M42's,M43's - all correct and authentic.

Absolutely. It looks cool - quite menacing actually, especially the first picture. In the one with the greatcoat on you look cold :giggle:
