Picked up one of these on Ebay for about a fiver including shipping. To flesh out my WW1 USAS impression. From a company in Hong Kong who deals in all kinds of watches. Just use "Buy it Now", because you won't get one with a bargain price bid from them, I've tried for 3 hours....

I've got one and its still working fine. Its been airsofting through CR in the rain and rivers, its done the tunnels and a training day as well as a 3 reenactment events and amazingly it still works and hasn't broken :?

Not sure how its survived really but its always been on a fob chain and in a pocket :shock: so I thought not bad for a fiver :oops:

They're ammo boots CW... not dms... much nicer and 100% correct for ww2 ... :)

I got a few things as well:

5 sten mags, for my bf'er
Sten mag loading tool mk2
No2 commando OR cap badge, metal (£10, but I'm going to see if I can get copies made cheaply)
Khaki 1945 dated groundsheet/rain cape
Superb repro tommy helmet liner from Pegasus Militaria... these are the dogs danglies if you're renovating an old helmet. Much better than SOF
Petrol fired cooker 1992 dated, but very similar to ww2 and only £7.50
