Certainly!

I'll add you to the group straight away.

The first PBI event is the Operation Varsirty one in March. There's still time to get booked in and time to get enough kit for it.

After all the only really destinctive bits are the maroon beret and denison!

Any questions... just ask!

Beret... Soldier of Fortune for an accurate repro. Your local surplus store for a modern one... that won't look 100%, but isn't bad. I understand Shoot and Scoot have some. I'm not sure if they're the modern ones or repro WW2 ones though.

Denison... post war belgian from Shoot and Scoot.

Or... go here: http://wwiireenacting.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37527 for a SUPERB one for about £100.

Webbing, sabre sales. They can probably sort you out wiht DMS boots for about 20 quid too.

When you get he webbing tell them you want war pattern '37 webbing' with brass fittings and popper closures.

Tell them its to re-enact south staffords and you'll get the right stuff.
