Hi Steve,
again, you may well be correct and the winter Parka may well never have appeared in this colour.

lm not wanting the Parka for reenactment, so historical accuracey isnt a concern.

Chris.

I'm sceptical that they ever existed , never seen an original , or picture of one , never seen the item in any books on GJ or their uniforms . You may very well be correct Halle. Rather than Khaki, maybe biege or tan would be a better description of the colour, which l believe was used in the Anora...

Hi,
Barry Lyndon of Spearhead Militaria on ebay used to do them, l have contacted him but apparently hes now sold out.

Hi Guys,

lm after a Gebirgsjager Plain Khaki Reversible Parka [ not the Anorak ], size L but XL prefered.

Reasonable price paid.

Cheers, Chris.

My memory of criminal law is a bit rusty but lm sure there is an offence of obtaining property by deception here ;- lf it can be shown that he obtained property [ i,e money ] from you with the intention of not providing you with the goods [ i,e decieving you ] paid for, then l believe the above offe...

Cheers fellas,
much appreciated.

Hi all,
is there any historical evidence that shows Fallschirmjaeger wearing jackboots [ rather than Para boots ], with their trousers bloused over the lower boots leg, minus gaiters.

Thanks in advance.

Chris.

Well if it smells of Skunk Sweat l might just get some for my Ex Missus, she`d like that.

Chris.

Odd isnt it.

Also noticed that the pleat in the middle of the breast pocket appears to go all the way down to the waist band.

Didnt think that Coveralls had pleated pockets. Could this be a private purchase etc.

Chris.

Hi Guys, wonder if anyone can help regarding this pic of Guderian taken during the surrender of the 116th in 1945. What is the guy to the rear of Guderian wearing. ls it by any chance an M43 Panzer Coverall in Splinter Pattern camo ? ? ?. http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy289/wittmannis/Guderian/...

l dont so much blame the Police as they could be following Home Office Guidlines or Directives laid down by their Chief Constable and thereby local to their particular force area. But l do blame the CPS. They generally dont proceed with cases unless there is a better than fifty fifty chance of winni...

Not failed, he entered a guilty plea and was given a 12 month conditional discharge.

Yep, you are right, l stand corrected.

Chris.

Yes maybe he should have been a tad more mindfull of the ramifications of leaving things "in view" in a public place. l feel sorry for the guy having to go through all of this when it was all so un neccessary. What l cant get my ears around is why it went as far as it did. When the Firearm...

l think he must have got his legal council to "bump up" the value of the item to give it more credence in the eyes of the court.

The more expensive and rare he can show it to be [ Get the court to believe ], then the less likelyhood there would be of it being sent for destruction.

Chris.
