Accurate Zeltbahn Reproduction?

Re: Accurate Zeltbahn Reproduction?
LOL, of course Ill use proper poles etc. Ive emailed Panther to ask if those are their own manufacture, if they are then a few extra quid is fine with me. I just dont want the sturm ones with the wrong print thats all.
Re: Accurate Zeltbahn Reproduction?
Panther-Stores Zelts are of his own manufacture. Definately good, but I'm with Stig with regards to mixing them up in terms of pattern if you want to make a tent. But then I'm a mix and match freak when it comes to camo patterns.

The Sturm oak isnt such a bad print, it's their splinter A that is weak. Its the rest of the zelt that lets it down, poor buttons, poor button holes, indifferent grommets etc.
The ones on Panthers website are not Sturm.

Panther-Store makes almost everything on their website themselves.

Yupp. The only thing I'm not sure whether he makes or not is shirts - going by the difference in 'standards' versus his Tunics. My shirt sleeves are long in comparison to the tunics I have from him. Still a very good shirt however.

Re: Accurate Zeltbahn Reproduction?
Thankyou all for the input, I really cant afford 4 SMW zelts so have ordered the Panther ones... now to find some good poles and pegs
Re: Accurate Zeltbahn Reproduction?
RAUnderwood has 4 correct length poles [370mm] for £20. Post war but identical.
Repro metal pegs he has at 4 for £15.
You might want to find some of the wood pegs with the little spigot on the side.
They are great for pulling the sides of the tent out.

Re: Accurate Zeltbahn Reproduction?
I found the poles on Richards site, Ive seem some bakelite pegs that might pull the sides out.

The post war East German ones that look like a whale tail?

Handy in soft soil or sand but not really correct.
SoF have the correct peg, TR855, £6 each but they are good for WW1 and WW2.

Re: Accurate Zeltbahn Reproduction?
Just a short question guys, do you use wirings in UK? If we open up a UK bank account with an UK bank could you wire there free of charges? Do you use national wiring - or is it only CC or paypal that you use? Good week-end to every body, Heiko
Re: Accurate Zeltbahn Reproduction?
I only use cards or paypal personally for dealing with shops. Anything else is a pain for me. International bank transfers cost me 40-50 pound per transaction at the bank. **** that.

Re: Accurate Zeltbahn Reproduction?
Anything other than CC or paypal - is weird foreign noncense over here - all rather suspect

Yes, we can but we dont very often.zib-militaria wrote:Just a short question guys, do you use wirings in UK?
I pay my accountant by transferring money into her account and pay the tax man the same way.
It would be easier/cheaper than an international transfer using iBan which costs I think £9 per transaction.
Very easy to do on-line.
