If there was anything padded i would say the rucksack straps...

please be aware that tubes can pull off the decals after a while..when u take the tube off the helmet i destroyed one of my decals this way :x Must be really bad decals :) I'd prefer a one-piece, continuous band - less chance of it coming apart in the field when you are busy prepping it with foliag...

The only repro / post-war Ushanka they had was to small/ sold out.

Thanks anyway

Where to get a decent post-war Ushanka for conversion job to ww2 type.. maybe some post-war Bulgarian Ushanka ?

Cheers

Good info to have in mind if you decide to travel to the UK as a reenactor etc.

Thanks Botty !

ok, thanks for input.

I have a green/gray one from militaria.net. Front pockets on that one is separated with stitching. Spent £69 on that one. Its not much field tested yet though, so i have to get back on that.

PROGETTO900 is a nice group. But, why the Hollywood dirt in the faces ?

Binos have arrived ! Nice doin buisness with you !

Cheers

Oberleutnant Ulrich let me know when / if the binos are sent.

" Houstoffen cuff title new " - Is that the well known SS Houston div ?

Tragic..

I have mine in my pocket all the time, in my private life.

Servus Gebirglers, Here are some WWII US Army Intelligence manuals on German Mountain Troops (these are translations of some of the German manuals above): German Mountain Warfare http://cgsc.leavenworth.army.mil/carl/wwIIspec/number21.pdf German Ski Training and Tactics http://cgsc.leavenworth.army...

The buttons...well as per any repro, you throw them away and (make your own-yes make your own)...or buy compressed paper originals. What was the diameter of these paper buttons ? for a Gebirgsjäger anorak 14, 15, 16 or 17 mm ? Has anyone purchased HIKISHOP's anorak or windjacke? http://hikishop.net...
