Aren't the green pioneer bags post-war?
'Ted' the 7 week old Sable Deutscher Schäferhund pup - picked him up this evening

Acquired a few bits of wood from work, dug my router out and tried to make a vsr11 a bit more ww2 era.
Nice job!

1946 dated British Ammo Boots - in good condition. Going to have a good look at the soles because they need a bit of work. Old boy who they belonged to jumped on D Day and Arnhem - these were the pair he received after he was demobbed and rejoined the Army. - Cost - Absolutely free!

Jammy git! Hard to find proper cobblers these days so try Big Al on the WWII forums; http://www.wwiireenacting.co.uk/forum/v ... 80&t=79356
I know! Count myself as very lucky to get them. They need stretching as well. Gonna get a shoe stretcher then sort out the soles.

Sounds amazing! Sometimes I wonder if all the good stuff has disappeared from those dreary sunday morning stalls, but then I spot a Jem ( not quite as magnificent as a map drafting set) and I remember the amazing treasure that can be found between the broken toys and faded pictures.
When your sorted, post a pic, Im training in design, so I love these sort of things

McV, are you soon going to be touting yourself as an alternative telecoms provider?
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier

Broad arrow and manufacturers' (B.W.C) marked.
The canvas roll does look a lot more dirtier in these photos than it does in 'real life', must be the lighting picking up all the brass staining more.

A gymnastiorka for a tenner. 1970`s in green, looks like a 35 model but with epaulettes so I have to remove them. It has some odd little belt supports, a bit like the ones on the German tunics ??
