www.atthefront.com is a VERY pricey place. For example, their reproduction 1936 suspenders are $50 each. Original, new condition ones will cost you less than $20.
Another great site that has been mentioned many times before: www.majorsurplusandsurvival.com
My personal favorite that offers at military prices (the cheapest): www.rddusa.com
Here is one with an outstanding Nazi selection, just redone their site too: http://www.ima-usa.com/index.php/cPath/14

I am sure you can find one around. I shouldn't be more than $5, I would think, unless you are looking for an authentic era issued one.

Most businesses won't abide to your wants, unless you plan to buys something extraordinary!
Most surplus stores should have insignias and pins like that, Gyro. And don't you tell me there aren't any surplus stores in Utah... I passed by many when I passed through the state! I do believe Utah is also home to one of the largest surplus providers in teh country. I might have passed it too, cause it was a HUGE warehouse with a wall that stated it's name: AMRY SURPLUS! If we hadn't been pressed to get back, I'd have stopped in!

I know it. Ocassionally, I'll walk in pass by tents and Camo clothing, then more tents, and more clothing. "Ahem, where can I find the ammo pouches and helmets?" "Oh, we don't sell any." "But your sign said... erm nevermind, bye..."
Also sometimes stores sell a lot less than what they post on their websites too, it is sad.

Or it'll be: "Excuse me, how much is this helmet?" "$30" "Okay, where is the steel shell that goes with it?" "That's just for the liner."
Also, refrain from buying that fake camo clothing from clothing store like Mervyns. They'll charge $40 easily for their version of camo clothing when you can get the actual thing for $7.

That is pretty funny. I would just be scared of getting grass stains on the uniform.

I've shown this coat before. It's an East German Border Guard uniform and hat. Same style, but I had to add some frontal decorations. The floppy hat I actually put a stitch from the rim to the chin strap chain. It looks authentic nazi now! The chain came with the hat, an officer or NCO designation. A black plastic strap designates an enlistee.

That's hardly WW2 related, but interesting nonetheless. Although, they used guns like that in the civil war, if anyone has a desire for making one such film.

I found twine rope used on packaging to burn up quite fast.
I did not see that.-DeadLogic- wrote:Actually, they sell some Lugers and Mauser Pistols from what I've read so far, and maybe more as well!
