Hi, sorry for not replying sooner, no i will be reenacting aswell, i know these items are getting rarer and some should be preserved in museum's etc, but i intend to use them for the purpose with which they were intended, but treat them with the respect that they deserve at all times !

Jez I wouldn't use original kit for re-enacting unless you have to. I used to use some bits when I first started out and its really heartbreaking when they get ripped, torn or broken. There is a great deal of repro WW1 German items appearing on the UK market and its cheaper than its ever been before. The WW1 scene is taking off so more stuff is becoming avalible. I know its nice own original kit and displaying it at events but when it gets wrecked, its so much more expensive to replace and the money you invest in original kit can be lost if it gets destoryed.

Welcome to the forum all the same from another Notts lad.

I agree that it is heart breaking. My main reason for not using original gear, you are re enacting trying make history come alive, then why would you want your kit to look nearly 100 years old. People go to museums and collections to see originals. Isnt it better for generla public to see the uniforms and kit in new and working order. theres my 2 pence :)
