My Pirschen M36 tunic turned up today! Very happy with it. (Not so happy with 3 hours sewing insignia on it though!).

How long did it take this time?

Again, it was exactly 4 weeks after ordering it. Perfect fit as well. Makes my Sturm one look, well, cheap for some reason.

Andy,
there pretty good copies - only thing is they are slightly short in height than the '37 original and '54 post war metal mugs I already have.
I just need to try and clean the inside of the bottles, so they can actually be used.
They are a Mil-tec/sturm repro so expect them to be everywhere by the end of next week.

Sodium hydroxide works a treat for stripping all crap from aluminium bottles - comes as bright and clean as brand new! (Caustic soda - can prob get it from Wilkos as a drain cleaner. Do it in a well ventilated area as hydrogen gas will be give off, use rubber gloves and eye protection as caustic soda is skin unfriendly!)

Couple of 2nd hand books.
GI Collectors Guide (vol 1), in well-used condition for a friend
Spearheading D-Day

and a few others
And a couple of US patches.

Heh, I couldn't resist putting a match to the gas - POP! (reminded me of one of the few fun bits of chemistry at school. The other good one was girl's hair catching alight when they leant across lit bunsen burners
)
Disclaimer: do not try lighting the gas - you will look silly without eyebrows!
