    Thanks John
    Not sure if there is some interesting for many but I love relics and displayed them too.
    All these winter camos were found at positions of I./SturmRgt , winter 42/43 in Russia... Note , mostly they are painted in oilbase glossy camo. Only the one has whitewash camo.

    Real DAK vet amongst them, based on bright yellow camo underneath white .
    Also cool top rubber part of the liner full of white paint used in my opinion for painting helmets/equipment during the battle..

                  I have enjoyed looking at all these great pieces while staying in place but since I don't collect FJ items the only thing I can add is a couple post cards that I have.

                          Agreed with Sergey. I add that you have a superb collection. Other collectors, should doing the same thing, show your FJ items

                              Nice helmet, plenty of character !
                              Fine smocks Tony and David, I love the hard edge tan / water pattern smocks, such an effective scheme, with a modern look to them !

                                Hi, Steve
                                I like the printing default on one of the arm. A little worn but not abused.
                                Thanks, David
