if anyone ever has problems ( new people ) that video is quite good help

Can anyone advise me of somewhere where these gaiters are available, seem to have difficulty in finding them

Any help much appreciated!

They also apear to be rather common items at militaria fairs. Well I've been to two and there was a big box at both so that''s 100%.

Also, if I remember who bought them each time, Yith will soon be the monopoly holder in regards to supplying them.

I have two pairs... that's it. The other two pairs were sold to your brother!

Don't spoil my illusions.

If you were talking about brit anklets it'd be another matter altogether. I have a huge pile of those.

I hate these things but when we do pre Dday we have to use them but when i was in the 29th c company group haveing to use them all the time .i now can put them on in secs while other are takeing there sweet time at shows ..LOL

Sorry to reserect and old post but i am stumped about how the stirrup clasp as well and the images are not showing up on my PC,

Sorry to drag up an old thread but Im a little confused about the stirrup clasp. Which way round does the strap go into it?

This way?

or this way?

also are the teeth on the clasp supposed to be a very very tight fit over the metal end to the strap?

Panic over I've worked it out
D'oh what a plonker I am
