Let's discuss: Buying things!

You don't HAVE to whiten your belts though.
I just apply some beewax to them, so they don't dry out or break/rip, but keep their nice brownish/white color.

I use dubbin on my boots to waterproof them and revive the leather.
Waterproofing is a must for me at least, dunno about the leathers you use, but our stuff grows a lot of mould if they get wet and aren't dried sharpish.

I disagree. Belts were whitened so you should at least whiten them once to get the proper 'campaign' look.

If I don't whiten mon belts le Caporal will put me in the guardhouse

We all know what happens when you are all alone with a Cpl and nobody can hear you.....

Rape?

[Olafson]

Well, you cant know that, because people did not do it anymore during WW2, but in Napoleonic reenactment we also reenact flogging.

[Mr T]

No floggings in le French army

[Olafson]

Shut up, he doesn't have to know!

[joer5835]

Come join the navy, we love flogging.

For my WWII Kameraden: What site or sutler has the best German greatcoat, preferably M40 and SS?

[Olafson]

We / Vince just bought 2 Original Enfields.

He is going back to that guy next days to buy more. He has a ton of original guns that he wants to sell. He also has some original flintlocks which I wouldn't mind to get. It is always good to fill depot up with something that looks nice and works.

I own a ATF one, was highly recommended by my unit. It is very nice, also Landrik did recommend M42 on hessen to me back then. I just went with ATF one because a bud was selling his away. But yeah, both looks good. I also heard Kelley's has some nice gavin greatcoats.

I am in the process of ordering a bicorne.

[Vincenzo]

I got myself a deal...
