    Lost Battalions

    Anyone else having problems getting their orders from LB as of late? I have been waiting for almost a month and have got to date is unanswered emails.

    Someone told me that they were going out of business again. What I heard was that someone bought the business from Ed Walton over a year ago and have found that they cannot make a go of it. This may be a rumor, just hearsay.

      I have heard the same thing from a couple other folks. I hope it is just a rumor. I have $450 bucks in limbo now with them. This is not the only reason, they make great stuff.

          I have been wandering whats going on at lost battalions as well, I ordered some Jack boots from them after what was a very bizzarre almost as if they cant be bothered to answer the E mails session, out of sheer frustration I finally telephoned them.

          The jackboot order is being dispatched to me in 6 weeks time we will see? from what you guys are saying it doesnt look like I will get them sadly and annoyingly, interestingly Im also having the same bizzare E mail session with Grigsby Militaria in the United States, sent him 4 emails so far and no response?

          if these American militaria suppliers are going out of business I wish they would say on the website home page to stop anyone else from buying from them and falling into a trap


          Kind regards to all my fellow militaria collectors and fellow re enactors like myself

            Reasons like that keep me away from most vendors. So far, I've ordered mostly from ATF and have had no problems with knowing when my stuff will arive.

            I've dealt with two other vendors (I won't say who). Communication was good, the items were crap (I spent $30 on a nicely detailed jump badge with a crap pin, the whole thing was made from soft metal, one day fell off my flieger bluse, hit the wooden floor, and snapped into about 6 pieces).

            Sorry, just some random ranting....

              I have seen Grigsby's jackboots and wanted a pair but as you say, several e-mails went unanswered. I have heard that you have to meet him in person and he will deal with you if he likes you. I wish all businesses performed as well as At The Front, Rollin may be a bit grumpy but they do deliver.

                I agree 100% Rollin can be a trip but I have never had any trouble buying from them or sending something back for a refund.

                  Nick: When did you order your boots from LB? Some of my guys tried ordering some not to long ago and were told they were no longer making footwear.

                  My order was placed January 5, 2010 and I have not received anything except for unawsered calls and emails.

                  This will be my last time dealing with Ed. I have dealt with Ray over the years without a minutes problem. I have dealt with a lot of different vendors in my 15 years of re-enacting and this is the first time I ever had this problem.

                    lost battalions etc

                    Thanks Guys

                    for responding to this thread, some interesting comments from you guys, I agree with your comments about At The Front Militaria,I bought a zelt from them,and get this, purchased on a wednesday on my doorstep Saturday Morning the same week.

                    in my entire lifetime I dont think I have ever had such a quick turn around takes bloody four days here in the UK with Snail Mail just to send up and down the country.

                    I would have bought some jacks from ATF but being an ex weight trainer I am alittle on the muscle bound size, calfs are 18 inches so when LB said they could make em to measure well I jumped at it ordered the boots in December last year just before Christmas, Tlephoned last week to be told they would be another 6 weeks?? we will see I will keep you all posted.

                      Actually I think the ATF jackboots will fit your calfs fine. I weigh 240lbs and I could stuff 5 or 6 stick grenades inside my ATF jackboots.

                        He is a body builder and he has worked on his calves as well as other parts of his body to make them big and muscular so his calves are probably larger than yours.I am 6'3" and weigh 230 and I lift for strength and my calves are not that big.Just because he upper part of your body is big does not mean that the legs at the calves are large.I have been lifting since I was 15 and have seen this many times.A lot of times people are just born with big calves that become naturally larger over time.

                        Cheers

                              I have 16" calfs and the ATF jackboots I have are plenty big enough for a few stick grenades. I bought mine about 2 years ago, I heard ATF has the latest ones a bit tighter. You might check and see if he has any of his old stock big ones left.
                              Also, have you tried that place called Epic that operates out of the UK? I saw that they have jackboots.
