Currently I'm ordering a black bandolier at Shakos GBL

Now I need to find a sabre briquet and a charleville bayonet.

Going to be buying an original mess tin, pair of matching original ammo pouches, and a fucking amazing original tornister (with post war Austrian army straps that I will change out)... And, guess what, for only fucking $200, and the seller is paying shipping. Give me fuck nao.

I was going to buy the mountain boots he has, but they are a size 9 in US standard, and that is flat out way too fucking small. I'm a 14.5...
Everything together (with mountain boots)...

Nice pick up right there. Thing is with the pouches and tornister is you've got to baby them... no need to fuck up original shit. I use an original '42 dated Tornister that doesn't have the fur or the straps (it attaches to Y-straps) that I use as a pillow and to carry the shit I don't use right away in my pockets or breadbag.

Original pouches are great for guard duty, living history, etc.

Mountain boots are expensive as FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. Someone's going to be very happy with those.

I use original mismatched pouch. Rockford got 'em dirty. Naturally I cleaned them first before anything from my kit.

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.

Maybe one of those WW2 guys can use this: http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=5129592

Just randomly found it on the net. No idea whether it is hard to get.

Pretty.


They're not that hard to get, I've seen some fare for $40 to $100.   75 euros is nice but gotta think about USD and shipping, best to look into american based antique shop or ebay, it'll fare cheaper.  Good deal for WW2 guys in Europe however.

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.

Ayyy landrique, couldnt do the reichwalds one, too soon to plan a long hike. However we're pushing for Hurtgenwald in Feb. It is also possible that me and my bud would just go ourself and hop in another unit.  Either way, we're pushing for it. 


alright you closet nazi fucks. listen up.

ATF got new zeltbahn and they're nice.
