Yep, that's pretty good! That type has .75L capacity but the mug is a decent size.
Just check the payment methods, some German sellers don't take paypal, which means a major arse pain (and extra cost) sorting out international money transfers.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
No worries, glad to be of help. Anything that let's us get our kit cheaper has got to be good!

Have just paid for this
I've bought from 'Zeltplane' before and he's usually very good. Some stuff can be post war but for what it's needed for it's easily close enough.
The metal cups for water bottles seem to be in short supply, a good condition wartime one can fetch almost as much as a bottle and cup. There are some repro 'bakelite' cups in green, orange and black which work but for a quick brew up the ally cup is king.

You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Excuse the quality of the photo....
What an absolutely brilliant torch this is! As seen in "Stalingrad", in the sewers scene. Metal case, with leather strap on the back, it has a flip cover - not sure if it's to shield the light or to protect the lens. Also has three colour filters - red is active, as you can see - or just white. The on/off switch can be locked as "on", or you can use it for morse signalling. Takes 2 "D" batteries, so is quite bright.

LOL, I've got one. It isn't really that bright - fine for signalling as you say though. Flip the cover down and soft light is directed downwards, fine for map reading, picking your way through tricky terain or rumaging for lost kit in bags without any direct bulb light reaching enemy eyes
may be alittle off topic here, but i was wondering what we will need for the churchills revenge game.... would i need to get an a frame and if so what rucksacks etc will i need....... what did they use for sleeping.....
it may also be worth putting a theread for requirements for the churchill game....

I won't be sleeping! at that time of year its light till nearly 21:45 & Sun up is around 04:00, I hear the Germans are talking about torches & night patrols!

Oldsweat is preparing a briefing for you all. There won't be a requirement for authenticity with sleeping arrangements/kit - but you are welcome to do so if you wish!
If you have a rucksack you dont need an A frame to carry it. It clips onto your Y straps. You can then clip an Aframe onto the back of the rucksack if you really need the extra kit.
As for sleeping, blankets, greatcoats and zeltbahns.

Got a green wool shirt and an Aertex JG shirt from Langton Antiques in Sheffield. Both post war, but look good enough for airsofting.
Also received another Microphone, this time from Suzy's surplus. Its a Canadian one.
Its marked inside 7/12/1944 and came wrapped in a page from the Toronto Evening Telegraph dated Jan 29 1945.
Esbit cooker and an oak leaf A smock . Always fancied one, and it might let me blend in more at CR, it was cheap, erm can't think of anymore proper reasons other than "I want"
Do you need any more reason than just "I want"?
Glad you mentioned the Esbit cooker. I need to get some more Hexy blocks for mine. Put in orders with Landser and Ostfront last night for some weird stuff - ration bags, Zelt poles and ropes, and other stuff last night.
God knows what I'm going to do once i've bought all I need for CR. Probably be able to save some cash then lol

I did have second thoughts this afternoon after doing the first two badges on the collar (what a pain) but I think it looks good well I managed to get the badges on so they match the book I was copying for effect, so thats something at least
