Ebay stores where to go and where not to go.

Post by Chorlitz|12.SS| »

Well made uniforms.Good Camo.Correct HBT. The best Asian seller at the momment.
>>http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ANT-Z-MILITARY<<


Stay clear of the wool(Bad colour, length and thickness)
Stay clear of Camo Uniforms(wrong colours)
But is very good for Zeltbahns and helmet covers and sells leathers and winter coats(Not the Camo ones)

Have you got pictures of these items from these various sellers to show us newbies?
We don't want to buy total rubbish from ebay after all.
I assume you have bought things from each of these vendors and you do have first hand knowledge of their goods?
Please show us what's good and what's not.

Ant-Z's camo isn't good.

Its not bad for the Chinese sellers remmember once its aged.....

Ant Z= Good HBT, Good Camo but the wool is darker green and is hard to age.

Spearhead= Bad thin wool but zelts and helmet covers are good

Epic outdoor is epic militaria

Hampton militaria is bad, But if you only have a few quid and not a lot of time there okay for holsters and little bits of equiptment.

No mate. Ant-Z's camo is bad. The Dot is just completely crap and added to that, the material is wrong also. His wools aren't bad for those on a budget, and like you said, his reed green HBT is probably the best Asian repro out there.

Spearheard's SS camo is terrible too. THe Oak is just plain wrong, and that goes for the same oak print used in their Plane Tree.

So you wouldn't recommend Ant-Z's Pea pattern? I really liked the look of it on his store and was nearly about to buy a jacket from there!

Looked like a nice pattern for aging to me, but I may be mistaken, any idea where to get a similar priced nice example?

Thanks,

How come that you recomend the HBT sets, and slags off the dot based on the fabric, when in fact both sets are made from the same fabric (different colour and printing treatments of course) ?

Chen makes both from the same fabric?

I have Ant-Z peas pattern. In my humble opinion it is rubbish. Far too dark a background. The print they sold off cheap in a panzer trouser cut was better but on the wrong cloth. I might wear it for an unfussy private battle but never in public.
The wools I think are rather green with not much grey. The cut of the M43 trousers is just plain wrong. They know this and have promised to correct it but 'dont have the time' right now. Too busy making fantasy dress tunics?

The Keilhosen have been fixed by now. The new cut is very nice, and put themselves very high on the list of repro trousers.

The peas pattern fabric is the same on all their products, it's just washed differently from time to time. Can you please point out whats wrong with the pattern ?

The lighter brown is almost the same as the darker brown so there is little contrast between the two. It did not look like that on the photos but thats how it was when the gear turned up. I'm not at home and the suits are boxed in the loft such is there poor appearance.
