Axel and myself at camp.

Herr Feldposten!

You might have a good amount of business coming your way, sir. Have a lot of US Gebirgsjäger reenactors who would like to get boots made from you. I am looking to order some by early next year, will production be in full swing by then?

Cheers,

Even with out a course, you can can learn almost anything you need to know on the internet, and should take some time practicing first aid. Also make sure to carry a real medical kit and plenty of expendables in it. Nothing major, but I completely wrecked my thumb in the heat of a tactical whilst fi...

Details are important. Russian captured? Condition? Maker and year?

I rather enjoy it. Put on a Django Reinhardt record, pour a cup of whiskey, and relax. It's rather theraputic in some ways

And I agree, you get a real sense of appreciation for your uniform.

One of the most period-looking reenactor photos i've seen. Bravo!

The craftsmen ship and quality look top notch to me. They look like the kind of boots that you could have for many years, even a lifetime if taken care of.

I don't know if anyone has purchased these, but I might pull the trigger and order a pair and do a proper review.

Out of the few hundred photos I have archived, I'd say about 4 at most had them wearing Y-Straps, one of which being improvised straps out of a breadbag strap. All the others where Ost Front.

I persuade guys in my unit to not wear them for most all events.

I know you guys are not to keen on first posters, but I will go ahead and step up and say that Luke at Man The Line is a good friend, and a well trusted buyer/seller of WWII militaria. My self, many friends, and unit members have done business with Luke without a hitch, and are pleased every time. C...
