Robb makes blank adaptors for all sorts of guns and blanks for just about anything you could think of. I have had a BUNCH of guys asking about t...

Leather panzer wrap? I have never seen or read about one made in leather, some SS guys got a hold of some U-Boat leathers, but they were in gray and looked nothing like a panzer wrap. It would be interesting to see if there are any photos of leather panzer wraps in period pictures.

Week #3 No uniform yet, but now I can track. Tracking shows the package is in the USA, and now has a USPS tracking number. I checked it out on the USPS site, and it shows that it is just an electronic pick up notice.
