nice links i have been looking for someone that sells ss uniforms.....

what is so funny to get a german uniform with SS insigna... with all shits they made, I would never wear their badges... no honor for them, nothing !

Oh well, that's fine for you, but some people like to re-enact. This thread is not about whether or not you would wear SS insignia and the reasons why, but about where to get reproduction gear. It's kinda like me explaining why I would never wear Czech badges, but I don't think anyone gives a shit.

true that....just wearing it for a re-enactment game and not to insult anyone is fine....

Just a nagging reminder, WWII gear and cheap are words not often found together. For those that are inclined to higher standards of authenticity one can note certain deficiencies in some of his gear.

An example that immediately shows up is in the German field gear. The bread bag has the leather pieces attached with a type of rivet when in reality they should be sewn on. Also the leather itself appears to garment weight which is rather soft and flexible rather than the much heavier leather which is used on military equipment.

Here are some links for comparison

A bread bag by 1944 militaria a highly respected supplier for reenactors.

careful analysis will show significant differences.

Just a reminder to keep your eyes open. Inauthentic on one, inauthentic on others?

Wow great resource link for WW2 gear! I didnt know this stuff was readily available..love the uni sets he has and the web gear. sweet.

Meine Ehre heisst Treue!

for non german speakers the translation is "my honour is loyalty"

so much more affordable than at the front! Nice find.

You can also find some cheaper repos on E bay sometimes. Only problem is E bay aren't allowed to show swastikas or SS runes so you'll have to get insignia elsewhere.

I just ordered a tunic from www.ww2militaria-kcs.com, the German M40 tunic set.
