6th Airborne officers with Monty. If you had a posh shaped beret isnt that an occasion to wear it?
As for the canadians!!
I'm aware of the fellow and he is a good and helpful chap. This just goes to show you cannot place too much faith on one story, be it from a vet or ot...
Where I have exactly the opposite story from guys who were there. We did a display for a dedication at Hardwick Hall about 5 or 6 years ago. Members o...
Just ordered a couple of the repro blankets from Ostfront. Look ok on the web, I'll report when they arrive.
The badge should be silver with the dome top kings crown.
There you go, there is a repro. All of his stuff is top quality. Not sure of the utility of such a garment for Airsofting, it was designed to be dumpe...

Get a splinter zelt and wear that, it covers 70% of your uniform and kit so details wont be so important. Good for Heer and Lufty and better than a sm...
The belt looks like the standard repro DAK shade. It may be original, who can say from that pic? They did fade out. Dunno about the Y straps, they loo...
I think we need to address the shade of 'olive'. For german webbing it wasn't the same as say the US olive. It usually appears as a green tint to a ba...
I think it has got better, in the early days off this forum it seemed like everyone was going for german camo suits. That and as much bling as could b...
