      I think they are boot 'tighteners' to stop their feet slipping inside the boot. You see them a lot in Infantry soldier photos especially 1914-15 maybe not. Eric

      Maybe they went to the left after gunners put it on the left of stahlhelme. Don I got something neat a couple of weeks ago MGSs related I'll take pics this weekend. Eric

      Chinstrap is a copy, Chris I'm not an expert they did make a one press piece (see kraus) but this one has separate stitched on visors? It's funky, I wouldn't buy it without asking Karel first. btw those circular ink stamps are faked, I have one on my Haube copy from over 30yrs ago. Eric

      I managed to spend some moments with my friend Gus couple of weeks ago. Gus fought on the Eastern Front with the Hermann Göring Division as a MG42 gunner. He's a wonderful old boy 91yrs young. He was kind enough to give me a couple of photos one is while on leave April '44 with his family. Cheers

      At a guess I'd say it's for mounted troops, I've seen those double buckle jobs before but can't remember for what. I once had a German Africa tunic and trousers but could never find the rest of the gear to build up a mannequin, so let it go. It's a tough collecting area imo. I love the belts shown, they are in wonderful condition. Eric

      Looks like a nice one Jock if i remember correctly all beaded helms are classed none combat. Eric

      I think that top front button pattern is post W1 on the first garment. Commercial, used a lot by the Germans and English. Chris is that the remains of a hood? reminds me of the pre'1900? German mantel. I like it send to me Eric

      Chip your example is killer thanks for showing. There was one on an ebay a few years ago didn't I show it on waf? I was outbid DK got the blighter I think. Eric
    19. Hoss
      Chip May we see your example, I'm not 100% on the ebay job. Eric

      Nice field 'shop' camo Chris does it have a steel band liner? Eric
    22. Hoss
      Chris similar pack and equipment http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/equipment-field-gear/norwegian-pre-war-military-equipment-188159/ Eric
    23. Hoss
      Yes Bob 1902 btw where is Chip?
    24. Hoss
      The Waffen, as said is junk, the liner isn't even German. You used to be able to check decals with a uv light, some new collectors may not know gents. Stig the initial German/ Chinese contract for a supply of M35's is well documented and their use post W2 on the net. Eric
    25. Hoss
      I like 42's as well, all beat up real grunt jobs, nice Jock. Eric
