If you read up on the food supply you will see that they were issued food at night and sometimes in the morning. They never had loads of food to carry round in their breadbags. Perhaps you should look at filling your breadbag with a toque, gloves, fettdose, cleaningkit, esbit cooker, ebsteck, and a ...

Looks like SS camo with army badging

I have a manufacturing source for you - If you promise not to scoop up all the production and sell it back to us you bugger ! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Or perhaps I ought to sell it to you????? He does blank for us - but I imagine he can do live for you. I dont require any Paul, I h...

Does it matter any more Steve? On the subject - we are looking for Stg - we have a lead on several but it's stalled - Do you (off board of course) know of any we could bid on? We are looking for 10. You and me also. If you find any spares, let me know. What do you use for blank? I make them from .3...

Wrong war Paul

Thanks Stigroadie for info .. The pistol angle rake might be a bit of a problem, but i am going to pull the gearbox out, and a mate who has a pattern shop is going to look at that job ( to complicated for me ), i might mig up the key hole tomorrow, and strip the wheel out, I cut some slot head scre...

If the gun is wrong for a display, I wonder if it would it look any better being carried by a skinny 20 yr old with a worn uniform rather than the average run of the mill reenactor.

Hi gurowski I am totally lost what your on about ? :shock: :shock: :shock: it was bare metal when bought not black ! .....ie no paint at all shiney metal ! In that case I retract my comment and apoligise. I have never seen an MP44 airsoft or otherwise sold in bare metal, only black have you looked ...

I was also thinking i might have over rubbed it ? What made me do it was having spent a lot of time researching the gun, the majority of them appeared to be roughly finished / blued, I think you have fucked a nicely finished gun. Instead of looking like a newly issued gun, as it would look in 1944,...

I think he was about 17 or 18 in the photo I posted - Looks much older though - Mind - during the assault on Norrey he saw things no man should...... At the end of the morning of June 9th,an attack was planned to seize the Norrey village (tu dois surement connaitre,camarade normand !),as a starting...

A nice guy to, I have met him at the Vets reunions and also obtained his autograph.

Please send pictures to jordan-vanicek@comcast.net of captured kits and Dot44s with jacks. I've been looking for these pictures and can't find very many. Thanks!

pictures have been sent

I don't see the conection of captured weapons/kit and dot used with jack boots? It's not the same thing. I can only assume you havent been following the thread, and though you would just reply to the last post, hence why you cant see the connection. Jack boots where a standard isssue item, although...

I don't think I missed the point of your original post. As far as I'm aware the average German soldier was never issued American jump boots or other kit. They might have come across captured kit or even been issued stock from occupied countries. The arguments about weapons seen at re-enactment even...

Theres quite a few pics from around the Market garden campaign of individuals wearing jackboots with Dot pattern. Might not look as nice as low boots but it certainly can't be called incorrect. well thats true, its not incorrect, but no really accurate either. But then again, have you ever seen pic...
