Re: SS Soldbuch who can fill out the book correctly
Thats being nice Paul. Not only the stamps but wrong info written in for the sake of it. Looks like a composite of 2-3 different paybooks, cos a lot of it doesnt fitHoffman Grink wrote:With respect Loz (Peiper) and trying not to be insulting - Too many stamps.........

Re: MG-34/42 equipment/gear.
Cheers GreameMac, i can see its been re-welded at some point, but im thinking it has been done during the period (WW2), due to the fact it is too well done (professional) So you mean that no one post WW2 would be a good enough welder to do this job then? People fail to realise that WW2 items were u...

Re: MG-34/42 equipment/gear.
The end piece for the carrying has broken off and been welded back on at some stage, so not unissued, and not the original paint either. But no matter its still an original item.

Re: Chicken Wire, Truth or false?
The issue with chicken wire is that you need to obtain the correct European sized hex hole wire. It hasnt been made for the past 50 years, and unless you obtain the right sized stuff, it will just look wrong. It was used but not often.

Re: 208.Infanterie-Division 'Fall Weiss' photoshoot
Well as they are staged photos posted on the web for the world to see, perhaps next time the photographer could do a quick check to ensure incorrect buttplate rifles are hidden behind something, or done appear in a closeup shot. That way you dont need to buy new rifles. Some people are experts on un...
