Hello! I am looking to purchase the tunic described above - Preferably an ATF textled version but I would consider a Sturm, few others. No SS please. Also, doesn't have to have insignia. If you have one you can PM me here or email me directly at billkapsalis@core.com.

Thank you!

Early decals were varnish and later became water slide also were available in canteens as private purchase,these came on rolls. Early decals came on sheets.

Originals were put on with a varnish like the ones from decalhelmet which are the best and closest to originals you can get So, the decals from Decal Helmet are, in fact, dry transfer decals applied with a laquer?? Or are they wet slide decals with laquer applied over them??? BTW, they look great, ...

Hello All - Just about finished up putting together my german kit - one of the last bits is to apply a single decal to my M40 helmet - Bought it from Ken at German Helmets Inc. - he does a great job, IMHO, BUT he doesn't apply decals. So, I am on my own. A few points - Just found out today that Mili...

Hello guys - I just picked up an M34 fm from Hessen, I assume its a Sturm made cap?. Anyway, my question is that I prefer when the cap fits more like a US overseas cap, without the large gap in the center of the cap. I hope I am being clear here. I assume just sew up the crown on the inside?? Any h...

Sorry to be jumping is so late on this topic - I love Panther Store stuff as much as anyone and love having a few color choices, but I thought the trop-hemds, at least for Heer, were all pull-over style shirts, not full button fronts??

My very humble two cents on this matter - I simply don't attend enough reenactments anymore that my uniform/equipment will get that "lived in" look and maybe other guys are that way too? So a little aging to a helmet, uniforms, or some of the equipment might serve to help them achieve a &q...

There is also Gavin Militaria from China which are quite reasonable, need to be careful with the trouser sizing as well!

I should have mentioned in my original post that I have no access to any spray painting tools you should have mentioned you were in the USA as well? :D We can get these custom colours in a standard spray can from the auto paint sellers. Is a similar thing not available in the USA? Stig - Sorry, I t...
