This is evidenced from the lack of pebbling, the lack of sharpness of the swastika, only four "waves on the eagle's wings as opposed to six on an original an.....

Looking damn fine there guys!

Must admit, i've used FrontofRussia for a couple of things, and am more than happy with their service.

I was too, except for the boots Alex sent me, definitly not the Kirza Sapogi I wanted.

Together with a friend of mine I'm attempting to get a Russian Re-enactment group of the ground in the Netherlands. Mainly because there's nobody else doing it. And some of us want to get away from the Smallwall+Tentstove+gas-powered coolers type camps and do some 'real' re-enacting. Living from under your Plash Palatka...I still need one of those btw..cooking on a campfire. singing socialist song...ahem..yes.

I've bought a copy of Zvevda (The Star) on DVD yesterday. About a Russian special forces group.

Another movie I want to get one of these days, yes.
Shame it's still 3 times the price of what I paid for Zvevda here :(
