Any DAK items

[OSS]

Then there were the Germans shot in cold blood in Italy or the New Zealanders who use to blow all the bank vaults in every Italian town or city that they entered.

Hmmm...Looks just like my Great Uncle who went through Italy on a wee tour in 44/45...

IMO they are good and have three my self, however I base that only on the construction, webbing and stitching. Only one of mine is marked & dated . Yours display more surface rust than mine but that could be just the way they were found/stored. The seller I bought mine from stated they were found in bulk and probably not issued . I'd like to hear what others thoughts are on these as well.

Finally home from a short stint away and took the opportunity during days off to check out the new mannequin. It needs some work to give it that "time in Libya" feel but I'll get there eventually. What matters are the all original items sitting on it. The sidecap is a well used 1940 dated Carl Halfar panzer and the tunic is an untouched faded early brown (not tan) example. This isn't one of the tunics sold by Mike Davis a few months ago but it is very similar.

Here are two old favourites, a 1940 dated olive green example with an early pith and rare early all web y-straps; a faded tan NCO with a matching faded cap by Robert Lubstein.
The straight leg Heer tropical trousers in the bottom photo with the faded tan tunic are a very rare early pair dated 1940 with bloused cuffs. I'll take some photos of these later.

I hope that you enjoy.

Mark, the displays look great, love the faded tunic and cap...well..ALL of them to be true!!

By the way, here are pictures of the same mannequin you have but repainted to a more appropriate desert tan, I did that one for a local collector DAK display.

That looks much better Frederico. I'll have to make an attempt at doing this. I'm not a modeller but have been drawing and painting for years.
Here's another that I took a quick photo of.

Mark,,

Good to have you back and thanks for sharing the new full size mannequin displays..
I particularly like the side cap, looks to be a nice used example and as we all know these used caps can be considerably harder to find than even a faded field cap

Cheers
Paul..
