Explosives fonts / labels

Gents

I've seen some great looking repro explosives made by Adams Ordnance in the States but I obviously can't ship these to the UK.

Does anyone have or know where I can get hold of the fonts for the packaging?

Thanks.

Thanks for that! Will try it later.

Re: Zib Militaria

Am disappointed to hear this. :?

I used them very recently for a few bits and they were brilliant. The stuff arrived within a few days and they appeared very professional.

Re: Combat dealers

Reviving this old thread as I've recently joined the forum. My first ever outing with the SBG was a book photo shoot around some of Bruce's collection in '96. I remember haring around a field Onassis Kettenkrad and his Demag holding on for dear life and dragging a PAK 40 around! I thought the series...

Re: Erkennungsmarken

Its not an easy thing to research as every unit had a different number, and these changed as the war progressed. Sometimes the same number would be used by different units at different times. Apparently a book with the full listing was privately published many years ago, but those that have a copy ...

Andy.

I haven't seen Otto for years. Phil stopped did a few impressions with bikes over the years but doesn't do anything now. He lives near to me and we still keep in touch.
