Re: Best Tunic on the mart.. on a budget..

Just a quick question. Do all uniforms from Gavin use the same wool thickness and colour? for example his m40s use the same wool as his m43? Because from the photos they look the same, but the originals not quite so. And yes, I can vouch for Gavin's craftsmanship. It's very well made. I am trying ou...

Re: fallschirm-sani

A FJ-sani in Normandy would have very similar roles to an Army, or any other Sanitaeter. You would see them with red cross aprons, and sometimes with red cross painted helmets as well. but it all depends on the rank as well. The first three ranks of the german medical team are: Hilfskrankenträger Kr...

Re: Spearhead/Barrylyndon overseas caps

I understand m8. Just asked Thomas for some pictures of the Tropical caps he ordered.

That's all.

Whom do you suggest for LW tropical and DAK caps? European vendors preferably.

Re: Spearhead/Barrylyndon overseas caps

With Spearhead's tropical uniform getting some decent reviews viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7688&p=77884&hilit ... ffe#p77884

Re: Spearhead/Barrylyndon overseas caps

Franz / Thomas,

can you send me some closeups of these caps? What's wrong about them? The tropical uniforms from SM are praised to be quite decent. Aren't the caps made from the same material?

Re: Ramcke Brigade Patch

It was Lehr battalions that wore the patches. As far as I know, these were field made, and these were done once they were in Africa. It would be interesting to list all the patches of the Ramcke brigade. I know that the Pioneer company wore a cross with a sort of arrow pointing upwards

Dear All, I've been a member for quite a while but I've only recently started frequenting the forum.
