Hmmm? My question as well, why four grommets, and not eight? Your edited post answers that one! :-) I found this fabric over at Amazon.com that might put me in a good direction: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61X5-27J%2BWL._SL500_AA300_.jpg http://www.amazon.com/European-Handkerchief-Linen-Ol...

Resurrecting an older thread. I own one (1) unissued condition schuhbeutel, and it is made of a rather thin cotton (almost linen-like) fabric. I wonder, how common is this particular fabric to either the schuh- or waeschbeutel? I am also hoping for help in sourcing some "quality" repros. I...

SSnez, very cool pic. Everything about it works perfect! The uniforms, the faces, the background, etc.

And no, the only soldier I see possibly in HBTs is the one colsest to the camera. That is why I sai...

Bitsch was liberated in a series of tough fights between December 1944 and March of 1945 by elements of the 100th Infantry Division. The men in the photo are probably all wearing M1943 Field Jackets and Trousers, even the suspect closest to the camera. You would be hard pressed to find a photo of th...

Your post is not exactly clear one way or another.

Yes, I would in fact pay for poorly milled wool. Call it being a stitch counter, call it crazy, call it whatever, but I desire to reenact with the closest possible recreations. After all, It is reenacting/living history/etc. and not a fancy dress party. :wink: I can not understand "good enough&...

I would add that I can think of no army that sees/saw rummaging, or pilfering, from your own dead as anything but heinus, "unless" you are in need of food or ammunition [the basics to survive in a desperate environment]. I know that people become immune to death, but it is more so directed...

I think that everyone is overlooking SMW's own description as "collector quality replicas". They are obviously not foolish and think that "Joe the reenactor" will be calm cool and collected as he tears his $600.00 uniform on a grey-painted, plywood dragons tooth. Yes, the uniform...
