Hällo! I have a question on what a pre-ww1/pre-unification gebirgsjäger uniform would look like. would it be similar to that of the ordinary troops but just heavier since they’re on mountains? or would it be an entirely different uniform?

A few months ago I bought a dress uniform for about $25. I’ve decided that it’s going to be my first impression. I’m not a reenactor but the hobby looks really fun and I don’t wanna sink the 2-3k into it to set up a full outfit with a M43, Rifle, and all the combat gear.

It’s not 100% accurate, the main thing Visually is the lack of infantry piping on the garrison cover and the lack of a tie and DUI’s (I have them coming). Besides that are minor issues, the Infantry discs one is screwback and one is clutch back, the CIB and the Markmsanship badge are both Post-War Non Sterling and the ribbon bar is modern. I’m happy with it though

Hello! I’ve posted here before but I’m 16F and I’m looking for a reenactment group in the New England area (like Massachusetts/Rhode Island or around there) that would let me participate in battles as a medic?

Just to be clear, I mean letting me portray a standard male medic, not a nurse. I would tuck my hair up and whatever else is necessary so I’m not recognized as a girl.

I’ve never reenacted before but I’m happy to learn. I’m hugely into ww2/war history in general, so no issue there, I’m just not terribly familiar with gear and standard reenacting procedures so I’d need to learn there.

I’d be open to German or American groups, I’d just like if there were some people somewhat around my age.

(Also to clarify- I absolutely recognize and appreciate women’s roles in ww2. I find them really interesting and love to learn about them. I just want to be able to take part in the battles!! I would love to do a red army impression of an infantry woman or sniper but I’ve never heard of or seen any groups doing that, at least locally)

If anyone has any opinions they would like to share I would be happy to hear them!

All I have is underwear from US ETO, and portyanki, as well as some hats. Where the hell do you guys find the money for kits?

Ive been on the hunt for the best websites that sell GWOT gear. Ebay has been a tad bit dry as of recently, and wonder if there are any other websites that sell similar stuff.

Thanks!

Question being, my head size is in between 59 and 59.5, so I wanted to ask if I should still get a size 66 shell (in the case my head IS 59.5 cm), as I haven't been able to find any feedback nor had the chance to try it myself (yet).

Hello,
I’m wondering if At The Front Kar98k black ammo pouches are worth it. Ive watched some reviews on them saying they are not very good at all, mainly some leather being thin, the pebbling too big, and the leather strip on the inside being to thick. Plus i heard the leather wasn’t too great and it looked so-so. But, these reviews were from a couple of years ago. I think they updated the pattern since because when I checked their website, the pebbling looked smaller and they looked pretty decent. I’ve heard cocomomo77 on Ebay has the best on the market but those are $80 plus $20 shipping, i’m fine with the price if they are as good as people say but I was wondering if any of you guys had input on this topic.
Thank you very much!
