WWI stopped the fighting with an ("truce") Armistice but included an occupation. The fighting stopped but the blockade and suffering went on. One of the German high command war aims when it was clear that no clear cut victory was to obtainable was to restart the war when conditions favored...
Amazing!! What a wealth of information! Thank you for sharing. You have to wonder how they got separated and sold. Glad someone who appreciates them saved them. So much history there. Are some from Rotterdam in May 1940?
The WPG boots are (in my opinion) in the color range for service shoes. My original toecaps were very slighty lighter. But then the 2 pair that I had were slightly off as compaired to each other. Age, dye lot and even the leather itself comes into play. Even today with the leather upolstery...
Mike,
I have used and worn both originals and repro's in reenacting. The repro's last. Wearing 65+ leather in the field is not an option now. 15 years ago it was all we had. The service shoe (rough out) repros I have are especlly nice. Very tough. I have had 2 sets of original toe caps...
It's a conspiracy by the mesh baseball hat manufactures and the florescent t-shirt , leisure suit retailers. Don't want to loose sales by the masses converting to taste and style. They can"t take chances. This is a growing revolution! Viva the Fedora!!! Vivia the ..........Argh, .... back...

American Tank Ace
His name is Staff Sergeant Lafayette G. Pool 3rd Platoon, "I" Company, 3rd Battalion, 32nd Armored Regiment, 3rd US Armored Division. He destroyed 258 enemy vehicles in 80 days
A lot to think about
There is more to factor here than just thickness of armor and main gun caliber. Smitty is right in that terrain has a major factor. as do logistics , tactics and reliability. I have had many conversations with a former Panther and King Tiger commander. He liked the...
Yes it can. You need to glue and clamp the veneer. Use a large wood block to hold down the veneer under the clamp. More surface area. A wood filler could be applyed to the cracks, sanded (lightly) and colored. The top or whereever it is need to be reshallaced then. You need to decide if...
Oil on wood Too much of a good thing
As some one who works with wood furniture I would caution the use of some products on vintage furniture or any furniture. Re-oiling wood is fine on a oil finished piece (think military gun stock). Most pieces have a topcoat. Shellac, lacquer and varnish...
I am selling a Bailey Madison Fur felt size 7 1/2 Brown. I rebashed it to a teardrop. It has only been worn to try on. I got a new hat that better matches a vintage suit I have.
