This is the dealer in the US that is selling his stuff now: http://www.hessenantique.com/ I have bought an amount of WW1 and WW2 gear from Ant-Z from his site and ebay auctions. Both, unfortunately, appear to have 'ceased trading', ebay has no gear and the site is "rebuilding". A pity, as...

Much of what has been written in this thread on the attitudes of those who re-enact WW1 is very true.

Can only help with the Waffenfeldwebel rank part of your query. According to the Brian Davis book he was an ordnance NCO and was distinguished by a patch with two crossed rifles in yellow on a dark blue-green circular background worn on the lower right sleeve. Photo example given on page 50 of the b...

Would appreciate it if anyone can point me to the recent thread discussing Pathfinder Distribution's camo net burlap pattern variations. I think it was about one month or so ago.
