Matching, and never seperated.

Great items, I really like that tropical DAK tunic with the skulls pinned on the lapels!

How the luger slots in perfectly, and where it's worn the canvas.

What are the laws regarding gun ownership in NZ? I thought they cracked down over there. I really liked your gunshow display and was surprised to know you even had them over there.

Great collection. I don't know why I look, though, it just makes me jealous!

Hi Guys,
Gun laws are reasonable at the moment, but there might come a time when those who make the laws and DON'T look at overseas results of disarming the civil population might make it worse. One big rub is the de-act situation. We need a full 'E' or 'C' cat licence to own a de-act. The old British system of being able to own one with-out a licence (quite sensible in my view) does not exist here, even though owning a welded up mg34 amounts to owning a 12kg hammer in the shape of a fire-arm.
Thanks for the kind comments
Mark.

Thanks Steve,
That's a Veteran bring back. The bottom pockets are stitched down as well.
No Depot stamp, just sizes. I actually would have gotten rid of it the first week I picked it up, but now...!

Mark, as always... ASEWOME stuff! I ofcourse dig it all but really like that luger holster. now thats a rare find. just great. although I must admit my mouth started watering when I saw this beautiful M24 stenciled grenade. please tell me this is 100% original and dare I say... matching in date and maker. oh please say it is, that would be the creme de la' creme. you know I love your collection Mark. your really into it. I applaud you for the time you spend on your ensembles. Glenn

Anything from Alan Beadle?

Hi Gene,
No, never. I did have him send me a tropical motor-coat but it was so small the smallest man in the German forces wouldn't have fit into it, and I didn't like the boards. So back it went.
I'm not a fan of his web-site, either. Not clear enough pictures for starters!
I deal with Collectors Guild and Bill Shea, but a lot of my stuff comes from families here.
Cheers!
Mark.

Lelez,
Absolutely Right
Garage sales are the place to be Saturday mornings - and word of mouth (along with a reputation for not screwing anyone over) brings items out of the woodwork.
This cap has been in the same guys hands since he was six (in 1946) a gift from his uncle returning from Italy.
