My front seam fixed bale arrived today. Got it for a great price on ebay.
Currently working on my USMC kit that will span from Guadalcanal to Korean war. I currently portray E/2/2 Marine and in process of joining the group. I have to own a proper M1 Garand before doing any event, this will take some saving as they're 1k easily nowaday. :o

You asked for it, here you go.
Vince, my brother and I spent all day fixing these 2 things. The images I posted are not the fixed/cleaned ones though. These were taken before we started cleaning.
The long gun will defiantly work, the lock is very strong and it sparks very well. If the barrel doesn't blow up when shooting it, it will be a great gun.
The small one is good too, but we need to replace one barrel band and the lock is broken. The hammer is to close to he pan and doesn't have enough energy to let it spark. Addionally, it can be fired from half cock, which is not very safe.
Swag, mane. This is something from the "Schlacht im Hürtgenwald" event folk who were talking about possibly doing something interesting for the February event:
Spoiler
For 2015 would german participants be interested in a resupply scenario? It would involve a pre-purchase from ATF and/or Panther Store for items and those items would be boxed and brought forward for resupply by type. Those who pre-purchased the items would then retrieve their items by type. Clothing, gear, etc. Just an idea, let me know your thoughts.
Items to be distributed:
Winter Parka sets (Panther Store)
Camouflage smocks (panther store)
Tunics/ trousers (ATF)
Leather/ webbing goods (ATF)
Bread bags (ATF)
Socks
Sweaters
gloves
toques
cold weather gear in general
Helmet nets
So the concept is this- people will pay for their items from these places in advance and we will have their items tagged w/ their name from the Mfg. There will be one shipment to Phil's place and it should be there 10 days or more before the event.
By the way, did you want to get the 275 on that event? It's pretty fuckin' legit. It's the one down in Waverly. The one I've told you about before.

In case you are wondering, two weeks ago, Vince and I have bought almost ALL of the WW1 French Infantry Kit.
All we are currently missing are historically accurate soap, a handkerchief, a bandage, historical underpants and two brushes.
But instead of that we got squad entrenching tools for 4 persons, and cooking tools for 3.
Besides that, I cant even remember all the other stuff we bought. Dozens of bayonets, plates, pans, forks, clothing etc.
Did you get a white flag as well?

Well the easiest way to fix this is buying a larger one. But thats risky so ill guess you just go to a shop and buy a new one there.

They costed us 90 Euro. Keep in mind thought that we ordered 3 Habits, 3 Gilets and 3 Bonnets though, so the price might be a little bit higher for just a single bonnet. Not sure, you will have to ask. But they are really well done. They have the proper cut, thick wool and length.
