For ebay pairs I feel not going to win no matter what I enter, I can remember around $20-30 pr on old manions that would be mid '80's $10-15 norm for singles. Always thought it was a perfect beginning for young collectors together with awards, forget that now. Eric

Gents A summer pic its smaller than the usual pack any ideas? Artillery maybe has a key lock pouch on the interior. Eric

Its unhealthy to own those. Eric

Well I'm not showing what one looks like here otherwise I'll never get me paws on one, what an insane request. .

I got them from a collector in France, expensive. Eric

We were warned before a bus trip once mountain bandits were in the area so us lucky ones flew in the hills high up one of our mexican mechanics had to fix the brakes!!! then they had a couple of punctures poor devils Lol! Old Mexico is wonderful and so are the people going back some day. Eric

The 10k barrier waiteth Joe good heavens above I'll stick to W2 Swedish for a mannequin. Eric

I can't get the true colours like Chip with my photos but the 'baggie pair' are steingrau, I included further pictures of me funky naval cut field hosen, still cant find info or another pr out there to compare them last three photos. Eric

Lol! its beautiful there I recommend it if you survive the flight!! the filter I bought from Mr Ludwig, nice Gent. Eric

Chris I'd rather spend a month in the Bahamas. Eric

Wonderful Ed I need a MG Tornister now where did I put that bayo. Eric

Chip Here's a picture where they're still using a spoon with m10, early diagrams have it carried inside the tornister. note maybe letters from home tucked inside the tunic cuffs. Eric

A little short of $7000 didn't look close I'd say they were Steingrau, piped from just below the pockets without the lower leg ankle lining, no gusset reinforcement. Faint ink stamps, very good condition. Eric

No it doesn't In some early pictures they look to be using a spoon not sure when they went to the spork. Eric

Week ago regimentals had a pr of m10 you wouldn't believe the price today I notice they are gone. Eric

Very nice Andrew Eric

Thats terrible Chris you have to love them and not think about money chum, this is my last pic on a belt off the bay.

Good heavens no Chris thanks for showing wish I had some to show. Eric

'rechthaberisch' for me and others from the n.east of England = 'opinionated' (one on the verge of an argument or kicking the cat across the room) = just agree with him. Eric

These are mine on uniforms... but need a link to Mr Chip lol! The two Kraus volumes are superb Somers books are very good the more he publishes, on top he is a first rate Gent. I really enjoyed his 3rd volume showing more details and ersatz pieces. In volume 2 chapter 10 'Uniforms' he has wonderful handy one and half page breakdown on changes and dates and the photography is first rate. I just wish he had 'waited' a little longer and obtained modern images of more EM field uniform examples residing in Private collections before going to press. (btw the camo helm on page 491 is believed to be a copy) The gripe..... I hate this as Joe say's 'coffee table' format. Schiffer books are too expensive too large and heavy plus won't fit on normal bookshelves, furthermore the binding is crap. 'man with many book have nothing to say...Confuhoss

Chip Thanks so much for posting these I'll take some pics of what I have, its not much anymore. Eric

I favour the one fashioned by Adolf Often wondered if he went clothes shopping like a normal person. Eric

Chris I have the two smaller Kraus volumes they are wonderful but in German means type everything in translate on something of interest. I have a m15 and a mantel with stitched boards on top of the loops. I know I only 'play war games' but notice slip-ons are a pain always getting snagged on things, may mean something in fact one learns alot just wearing the same clobber for a few days ie: steel helmets I can't stand it for more than half an hour at a time. Sorry gone on abit its the meds. Eric

After 10mins thumbing back to original post did not army have longer tunics and artillery errr shorter? or arms same length man have shorter 'trunk'. lol! confuhoss also say...man with short arm have trouble pee pee
