Finally got round to posting my late introduction to the Forum - apologies for the delay....
I live in NW England and am a WSS re-enactor with KSK Group who portray LAH, and am now in my second season.
So far, I’ve attended several big events such as W&P 2011, Fortress Wales, Levisham 2011, War in the Vale, Pip Park private battle 2012 and various smaller events.
I’ve also been a militaria collector since being a 9 years old kid at primary school when I got my first real Nazi item - a genuine HJ belt and buckle for a couple of weeks spending money of 5 bob (25p in today’s money....). My first SA dagger involved a total raid of my piggy bank and borrowing my pending birthday present money to raise the grand total of £4 10 shillings (£4.50) for the dagger from an antique shop run by a little old jewish guy.... Happy days, for those of us who are old enough to remember when you could swop a handful of chewing gum cards with your school mates for a German infantry assault badge or EK1 etc... such bliss....
Also, I have some previous military service which has been useful...
Recently I’ve bought a UK reg 1970 CJ750 solo motorcycle which I’d like to retro fit to a BMW R71 krad warhorse - I’ll post more on this project under the correct thread as any advice will be much appreciated...
I’m really enjoying the re-enacting scene and am impressed with the professionalism and comradeship of fellow re-enactors.
Strangely enough I even quite enjoy living in a zelt....
Anyway, hopefully that should be enough for my introduction.
Hope to see some of you at this year’s W&P and Victory show...
Tata for now...
Auf Weidersehen...
