    WWII Reenactments

    Years ago we used to "play" up around Big Bear it was usually a winter battle and we used to go just north of San Diego. The CHG is about your best bet that is what I used to belong to. When you do check see what the "Germans" are doing they always seemed more organized. The Allied units are...

    bye bye television!

    I stayed with my cousins in Amsterdam for a couple of weeks and I can tell you Dutch TV is alot different than American TV. IMHO you Dutch got all our trashy pathetic shows like Jenny Jones. I tried to convince my cousins that we're not that pathetic ( we're getting there though !). Your TV is...

    Applegate, Sykes, Fairbairn et al

    Kind of sort of unfortunately here in Calif. it's hard to collect them. I have a M-3 fighting knife I bought from a Paratrooper years ago. He supposedly jumped into Normandy with it . My friends joked he had a box full under his table and told the tale with every sale. It's a real M-3 knife so...

    gloves with A2

    I was also pondering the same question. One has to remember they used what ever was availible especially in war time. I'm sure there was a lot of private purchases seeing that Officers can get away with it.

    My new 1947 French army greatcoat

    Looks real warm I bought the M-47 field jackets that Sportsman guide are selling. I bought 4 in XLG before they sold out ( 2 for 19.99 ) now trying to find the matching trousers. For some reason French Militaria is getting easy to find.

    Show us your Guns!

    Beautiful Mauser, I have a "wannabe" K98 Yugo. It is similar in appearance that why I bought it. I originally went to buy a No 4 enfield but saw it sitting on the rack screaming "Buy me" ! Nice thing is there is some surplus 8mm ammo out there still. They have just released some new Yugo...

    Angels With Dirty Faces

    I grew up watching the "Bowery Boy" on Sat mornings with "Satch" and "Gimpy"(I think that was his name). I still liked "The Dead End" with Bogie and the "Dead End Kids". I read somewhere when they had the kids in Hollywood they totally destroyed the set and caused all kinds of mischief.

    Re-enactors at Amberley 2008

    Love those Dennison smocks ! Years ago I bought a Re-issue 59 pattern that they reproduced using original screens. Unfortunately I did not have foresight to order a larger size. I read alot of the Para's bought them to use but were not authorized. So some were made in DPM I wish I could have...

    modern military boots

    I have a pair of " Desi's " British desert army boots which I wear sometimes to work. I get alot of compliments on them because they look cool. They are OK but are definately expendable in nature. The sole is thin and the lugs are not too pronounced. They are DMS so they can't be re-soled but...

    Gotta love those Garands ! I can almost hear the "ping". I once owned 3 now only one. Last year I was rummaging around in the Garage and found over 90 en-bloc clips. Along with those I found about 3-400 rounds of Blanks I forgot I had. Time to go shooting !

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I happened up on a Great movie " Lost Command " with Anthony Quinn. A great Foreign Legion flick about Indo-china and Algiers. Good study in French Lizard pattern uniforms and equipment. I am suprised how terrorism ( freedom fighting ) hasn't changed through the years.
