If it helps I can look at my Para M43 and get the pattern of the pockets if you like?

cheers

jsut landed are a pair of US Officer collar badges

You got ideas above your station? Have you ordered any Cpl chevrons for Fox Co yet?

Is that no to both? Get some chevrons ordered and when are you becoming a rupert?

you stalking me

yes it was

It was a private sale so was just a good guess

Reason i aksed is for your opinion(if the jkt has arrived yet).

A lot of the "Top" US WW2 Reenactors swear by ATF and more or less reckon that anything else repro wise is crap(especialy M42 Jump Suits and US Airborne Boots).

All i have owned ATF made was an M41 jkt and to be quite honest couldnt seen any difference at all to my SOf £29.99 cheapo M41 so just wanted to know what the big deal was with everything ATF or is it just an elitist thing??

Thanks

loads of "counts as " stuff from millets.....................

Black wound badge from Mr Morigi

Really, can you explain it to me?
The originals are not tan, the good repros are not tan.

LOL I meant, now I know why bright tan as a modern army uniform never made sense to me - 'cos its wasn't!

diane, thank you. today i have been on the end of a serious kit beating, so much i nearly posted a tthread entitled "bollox to this, and your insults, i am off"
i have 3/4 impressions, today i learned at least 2 of them are "wrong". i think i am losing interest.

for my new load out i will be buying exclusively from the imperial war museum. i will see you all at my next game in about 12 years.

problem then is it would be faded or moth nipped or they won't sell cos they're the jammy gits that have all the unissued unfaded unwhatevered kit

Chin up nige or I'll find that box

Jackboots from Epic (no hobnails so can wear them on sunday)
A sizeable section of silk and some paints for making parachute scarves
A Hugemongous camp bed, very comfy too.

Oh dear Nige. Too much time on the forums does that to you. Trust me, the four of us regularly get well pissed off from time to time - I just end up taking a week off 'cos its crap. I have wasted SO much of MY time today sorting out various squabbling parties on various subjects its not true. Its not worth it mate - as always on this forum its what YOU want to do that matters, not what is historically accurate (if indeed there is historical accuracy - as ATF point out, there are rarely absolutes!).

you know me dave, takes a lot to get me angry, i dont usually care enough to lose my temper

i have it sorted. one cap badge purchase, problem solved.

Ah, if only my problems were sorted by a change of cap badge....

and you can stop there, noone has the lifespan to sit and read about how it all went wrong after that little trike mentioned in a previous post

Be grateful my dad blames the sole issue of his life's wrongs on being a postwar baby and having to wear his big sisters pink knitted cardigan as a hand me down.... apparently its evil power was made worse by the fact it had ducks on the buttons

Blimey, he must have issues...
