These Jägers are more than likely fo...

Project Edelweiss is a fantastic endeavor and a wonderful experience. Mountaineering experience is a must for this event since everyone's...

Grüß Di' I think what you have is the Tungsten squeeze-bore head that was used with the schwere Panzerbüchse 41. The s.Pz.B.41 was an effective weapon when it was approved for service in November of 1940. But after 1941, the weapon lost it's effectiveness against most armor of the time. The bigger i...

Servus Chris, I have seen many original Gebirgsjäger Windblusen with the strap cut off. On one of my originals, the strap is about 16 inches / 41 cm with 4 button holes. http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6848/olivewindblusefm1.jpg Is the material on this new repro a single layer with white on one s...

Does that go for the kleines Gebirgsnachrichtenzelt also???


Berg Heil,

Servus Mulischoffeur Blumenteufel,

Outstanding packsaddle and Gebirgsfahnenschmied (mountain field forge) boxes!




Muli vor!

Grüß Gott Kameraden,

Excellent work on the early war impression and photographs!!! The only thing that I see that might be lacking is a cross-strap for the Leutnant's belt, but this wasn't worn all the time.



Drei mal Horrido!

Why not just purchase the resin faceplate that is usually sold on ebay? Makes the process a whole lot easier.

Servus Kameraden, Here's a new book available from Schiffer on German Winter Uniforms: Winter Uniforms of the German Army and Luftwaffe in World War II by Vincent Slegers - Schifferbooks.com https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/299804_2291194492594_1630971198_2246923_1426799...

Here's a good site with plenty of photos of an original le.IG 18 in a museum:
