God I can't comfirm today but when I was still doing reenacting with the CHG back in the late 80s we enforced the rule of NO EAST GERMAN TUNICS or HATS, they didn't even come close to the real thing and would not be tolorated. We use to laugh the guys off the field that tried to come on with West German or Austrian Splinter as well.

Well he is doing airsoft and a majority of these guys are in the 15-20 range. It is hard to afford the better quality stuff (but I still hate to see the EG stuff used as WWII, but there is no other choice). It would be nice to see more WWII airsoft events.

But, I would agree a reenacting unit should not use any substitutes or bad quality reproductions. Today you can get decent uniforms from China for a relatively good price.

Genossen,

Hateful!

Even if you are a "Spondnik" this is just not to the Dress regulations of the Gitlerite Vandal horde, it even dishonours them and looks very poor, thus continues the story Air Softers wear bad gear "....cause they don't care"... Please HET!, Fifteen years from now you will think it as hateful as we do looking at what we used to use when we played war back in the day.

There is not enough Small Arms Ammunition, or( if you follow the Gitlerite Direction), Piano Wire in the World to deal with this Crime against the Workers Paradise !.


It has been Noted and a Negative Report has been forwarded to Moscow Centre for the"Wet Matters" Directorate to action.

Well I know that it is east german and I am currently saving up for a nice repro uniform! and for now this will be under a camo smock.

And when I do get a nice repro I will just pull the insignia of this one and stick it on the other, then probably buy some east german insignia to complete this one...

BTW I hate to spend $70-$150 for a uniform I might just grow out of right away.

But I assure you that this is just temporary.

And BTW I'm not one of those "airsofters that wear bad gear"

I know perfectly well what gear i need and how to wear it.

Edit*

This is what separates me from "airsofters that wear bad gear"
Awful isn't it.....

The dot 44 is very dark in that picture....

Does this have much to do with the DDR collectors field? I'm kind of losing things.

[grossmacht]

I too am bored of this.
We all know that stuff gets converted...and the conversions are a double edged sword.
The more that gets "re purposed" means there are fewer "original" pieces. This in turn drives the prices up..or theoretically so.
Think about all the 3.Reich collectors who are pissed that the fledgling police forces in the eastern sector decided to dye their NS-state uniforms in the early post-war period. The piles of Wehrmacht and SS uniforms that became fodder for the bonfires in the efforts to eliminate typhus, etc. The Helmets that became pots and gas mask cans that were re purposed into flower pots, watering cans etc.
It is a shame, especially since the Chinese dealers are supplying Western reproduction houses with much op their stocks and are selling directly to the public for ridiculous prices.
Anyway...not really a pressing matter for this forum.
All the more need for more sub-forums.

[ehrentitle]

I agree, I think the thread has outlived its usefulness. There are numerous Airsoft forums where the merits of repo TR uniforms could be discussed. That's not the focus here.

[flyboy_fx]

I really just wanted an opinion on the insignia really.... This was probably posted in the wrong section though...

If it makes E German collectors feel better I am getting a nice tunic soon and buying some E German insignia to complete this one....

[Knuckles930]

If you would need advice on the tunic, strip it when you can and than post a picture of it.
Add a question of what kind of insignia to add to it and there you go.

I let this thread run for a bit thinking somehow certainly it had to at some point have a DDR purpose, otherwise why start the thread.

It appears there is no relevance to DDR interests. The subject matter clearly is focused toward Wehrmacht interests and just coincidentally happens to encompass a re-worked NVA Tunic.

The thread and subject matter being discussed as far as I can determine has no DDR relevance and therefore no merit toward interests of the WAF DDR Sub-forum.

Thread is locked and closed.
