Thanks for the link Heydrich65! I am ordering a set now!

@f.knieriemann. I love those photographs! I aspire to have a Gebirgs impression like I see in those photographs, one day! I have just begun to collect my Gebirgs stuff. It has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I finnaly decided to last year after doing SS for almost 10 years. I have a ways t...

Servus Bergkameraden! Here are a few pictures of me in my new impression taken at a couple (small) Ost Front events within the past month. Quite a change from my SS impression, I might add! And one I have been wanting to do for a LONG time. 2./Gebirgsjäger-Regiment .100 Wolkhow Forest, 1943 http://i...

Great write up Hans Kurtz! Thanks for the info

Hallo I am also on the lookout for Steinnuß buttons. I was wondering if anyone had a couple they were willing to part with? If not, then do we know if these buttons were actually larger than the buttons found on the M43 feldmütze? I was reading the above posts, but it seemed unclear if they were act...

You said it! It is also nice to see them making the Große Rucksack too, and not settle for a kleine Rucksack or "artillerie pack" like you see many try to reproduce.

Well after wanting to form a group based on Gebirgstruppen for several years I have finally started progress on a new unit. Based in the Central United States, I am forming Geb.Jäg.Rgt.100! Although this has been a new development for me (having left my prior group to start on my own venture), I hav...

Thanks Halle! Although I like projects, I think I am going to take your advice and save up for a nice pair of repros. After much studying (which will never end! :lol: ) I found that the 85. Gebirgsjäger Rgt. Is exactly what I am looking for in a second impression! I have always been intrigued by Geb...

I have a question about Swiss mountain boots. I have found a source for them, but I am unsure if it would be worth converting. After scouring the forum, particularly everything under the Topic Gebirgsjager, I have found that Swiss mountain boots are an acceptable form of boot in the reenacting commu...

Just a question, how is the Allied side of the Hobby looking on the other side of the pond? Here in the good old US of A, the Allied numbers seem to be more than slowly shrinking. I consider myself to have started reenacting with my unit back in 2002 and have only ever had my German impression, noth...

Here is another one of me. From the same event, the photographer took a bunch of great pics. This one I thought unique.

Finally have one of me that I feel is good enough to post. This pic was from two weekends ago at the Jefferson Barracks World War Two days event here in Missouri.

I too have an old Lost Battalions Feldbluse, although mine is a M40. I have noticed that after about 8 years or so of wear and use in the field it has aquired a good lived in look. I have also noticed that the very tips of my collor do tend to curve upwards after years of use. I always just assumed ...

We will be having a German/Russian Battle at our public event coming up in 6 weeks in IN. Ah, Herr Dieter, I had heard about that event did not get a chance to attend and I had no idea that that many had registered! And even if 55 only showed up that is still 55!, and seems a very large number for ...

I myself favor the study of the Eastern Front during the Second World War. It is true that the main focus in reenacting WW2 is Normandy ’44. I think that the answer has some very simple reasons yet there is still a large unknown. It is true that BofB and SPR has had a very large influence for the ho...
