No the WPG repros don't flick all the way...anyway they're probably about as illegal as the 1918 Trench Knife.

Indeed, "in working order" made me think it was, well... in working order.

Well some of the flick half way, some fold. This one flicks half way. Not sure how that makes a difference but apparently it does.

I do. No british WW2-stuff in Finland markets :(

Just bought from previosly mentioned cost a fortune:
-Dennison smock (first pattern)
-Denim trousers
-Toggle rope

Why do you always carry that umbrella?
-Bad memory. Never could remember the password. Knew no Jerry would carry one. Had to prove I was an Englishman, you see.

A nice late war 'Large head' zeltbahn. Made from many different prints with a range of colours. It has the typical late war 'wings' and a very high quality field/depot repair.
The bulk is the larger print version of splinter A.
Needs some buttons but not short of those.

Picked up a nice garrison cap. And the slippery slope towards non combat equipment starts.
