Yes im quite happy actually! Oo sounds good I'll have a look, think I need 12 ?!? And yes I have poles! Weighs enough but should withstand the Pyrenean winds
Tent? Luxury!
A lovely new set of Panther Store "Battledress, Serge" with a collarless shirt and GS cap!
It arrived on Friday but nobody was in so it was left at my neighbours until Saturday, but I was staying at my girlfriend's house from Friday evening and all Saturday so I didn't get my mitts on it until around 1am this morning, but it was more than worth the wait!
It's perfect even down to the labels, with a February 1938 date on them (this might be unique to those made in Feb as mine was made in Jan/Feb), the serge has a lovely feel to it, the collarless shirt has early war type "gunmetal" buttons and the stitching is excellent. I ordered the off the peg size 13 and it fits very well with a bit of room to spare.
Worked out a few quid cheaper inc p&p than SOF too! Definitely recommend it to anyone who's after a full uniform.
My new Reed Green HBT Tunic arrived today from Richard Underwood. Very smart looking piece of kit and feels great in the sun.
Regards,
Ralph

Glad your happy mate, it really is good isn't it! I really don't have the time or money for the game on Saturday but by god, I need to wear them again

Also this looks great
What are you going to do with the lovely lufty impression, field troop or something more obscure?

It's badged up for Heer at the moment but I'm thinking of a way that I can easily attach luftwaffe insignia to it. Failing that I'll get a separate one for my lufty gear and use it for fallschirmjäger as I'll get a nice Tan and Water pattern field jacket for Field Division.

Great! A man can never have too many uniforms

Great choice - it's a lovely gun! How many mags did you go for? There is a thread that shows how to convert K98 pouches so the mags fit

Thanks for the link. I'll definitely check that out. Only. Got the one mag at the moment but looking to get at least 2 more. I figure I'll be dead before I go through a whole one anyway

Hehe, I've got 5 I think and I've never lived long enough to run out!
From a airsoft fleamarket: Sten bandolier for 20 euros (~15 £).
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 bridge too far
