Hi everyone - big ask here. Does anyone have any scans or photos of the packaging for original German field rations (we've alrerady trawled the yahoo rero sights and don't know between us what's good, bad or indifferent) ? Perhaps, if there was specific mountain ration issued to the Gerbirgs - That ...

i got a wartime Kahles from e bay without a mount for £70 it can be done £47.00 plus postage but it had no finish left on the metal worth a damn and didn't have the base to the mounts. Spent best part of a year looking on e-bay and then two turned up fom the same seller. A scruffy but servicable on...

Very nice pics - as a matter of interest how did you deal with taking the G-U-N out to play. Photshoot on private land. I only ask as we didin't dare yesterday and are plain envious :D Paul http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p169/colonelblimp/Ilovemaskis-small.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/...

Since I managed to kill this topic stone dead, it's only fair I have a go at redressing the balance. It snowed here today (bit of a rartity in the UK for it to last longer than a couple of hours :D) So we did a quick trip into the park to try out the snow cammo - http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...

That's excellent news P.

We were looking at a map today and we THINK the car park is at SK005623 if that helps.

You're a marvel - been looking for the first and third one of these as PDF's for a while - there's someone on E-bay trying to charge about 15 UKP for each of these on CD

What can I say: "I'm not worthy"

Have a great Christmas and all the best for "009

Quite a lot of the smaller deactivated arms dealers sold up and went in the face of the act - some are now looking for gaurantees that you're a bone fide re-anctor as legal or not they need to cover their own backs. RIF may be the main focus of the Act but it has had qiute a knock on effect in the b...

Hello Errrrrrrrrr ... who are you ? We have something called the Violent Crime Reduction Act in force here which has come down hard on we British re-enactors, so I doubt anyone will know, tell or volunteer anything on here to effectively a stranger whose e-mail addy is to a generic internet provisio...

And a fantastically clear reference for studding boots as well. Pleased to hear you're going ahead with the purchase - I know exactly what you mean about the exchange rate - some stuff I was buying from the US a fortnight ago went up by £15 overnight thanks to a fluctuating exchange rate :lol: :shoc...
