New reproduction German low boots on the horizion!

Proper reproduction German low boots seem to be very tough to obtain. But, At the Front is coming out with some really nice repro boots sometime in 2014. Price will be in the neighborhood of $150. So keep an eye out if needing new boots!

Re: handschar reenactment

Nice impression! I like the use of the breadbag strap as a supplement for Y-straps. I've seen that done before in original pics of the 13. SS Division.

Thanks!...And I don't plan on changing anything.And my wartime character I portray that joined in 1944 would have been freshly issued all of my equipment.I don't see why people like peiper think everyone should look as if they just came from months of heavy fighting at the Russian front with ragged ...
