I get all my hats from LB.
I should also mention that LB are the only people making correctly patterned M-43 caps on the market today.
I'd also highly recommend their wool uniforms as well.

I just got back from the Show of Shows Militaria and Gun Show in Louisville,KT.
There was so much 3rd Reich/NS gear, equipment, guns, or whatever that it would give an antifa a nervous breakdown.
Did you know that there are huge 3rd Reich re-enactor organizations in the US. According to the folks in the Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler, there are more 3rd Reich/WWII re-enactors than there are Civil War/Revolutionary War.
Well, obviously I didn't know.
The LAH folks have real, restored kubal wagons, tanks, side-car motorcycles complete with machine guns that work, half-tracks, artillery, and all kinds of rifles, pistols, and more machine guns and machine pistols. And, of course, authentic uniforms and kit. Then they cruise around the US having big battles against the 3rd Army in various state parks.
Dang, you would think something like this would make the news.
Wow, to think people are driving around the US in panzer tanks and calling themselves the Liebstandarte. What a kick!
A post card of the Battle of Berlin.
I met the tank commander and was very lucky to be able to spend a day with him and hear 1st hand his harrowing account of the Battle.
Well, second hand because we had to use a translator.

These are really only the tip of the iceberg. There's plenty more where they came from.

I went and seen one of these reenactments and it was very impressive. It started when I seen a whole unit of BMW R75s going down a state highway. Who would not follow that? They ended up at a state recreation area. They had trucks, tanks, whole combat units everything you could think of. To see them was just cool I stayed all day. The German reenactors out numbered the US, Canadian, and British forces 20 to 1 easy.
I was at that Louisville show also, They have it 3 or 4 times a year![]()
Life is like a fire hydrant- sometimes you help people put out their fires, but most of the time you just get peed on by every dog in the neighborhood.
The most consistently botched article of reproduction German WW2 uniform items are the boots, both low and marching boots. And even worse than those are the FJ boots. Seems hardly anyone this day and age can do them properly.

Thanks folks, very neat sites. I have the links saved to check out. I would like to do some re-enacting for the Civil War or WW2 or WW1 someday.![]()
