I've see too FJ boots sold,one in top condition and the other one used but not abused.
And that's all for me because I couldn't move from my friend's table.

That was me wearing them while passing by

OK, I'll start, please add if you have seen other things:

- 1 green smock, cut down, but with original eagle; some wear to the neck;
- 1 "splinter on grümeliert" smock, with cut-out and restored eagle;
- 3 tan/water smocks, nicely worn, no or liottle damage as far as I could see; dunno about the breast eagles.
- 2 blue bandoleers, 3 tan ones, 2 splinter, part of a double-snap (from forum member MATHLUFT)
- one pair of blue knee protectors (again, MATHLUFT);
- 3 pair of boots, one mint, 2 worn, but not abused;
- 1 RZ20, white canopy;
- 2 camo helmets that I felt confident about; numerous others I did not even bother
- around 8 - 10 helmets, varying from near mint to well-worn, with decal and without (no DD);
- 2 splinter an 1 tan/water FD jacket if I am correct.


Apparently there was another green stepin, but I did not see that one, so haven't mentioned it above. No pants, no gas mask bag. Also, I did not see any drop containers (normally there's one or 2).

But I am sure I have missed a few things....

KR,
Frank.

Did anyone take any photos at all? Seems we never see many photos posted from the shows in Europe.

They're not that keen on having their pictures taken here John. I don't understand most of what they say, but their facial expression tells me all I need to know to stay healthy!

Kr,

[Willi Z.]

We don't post photos of the Max and SOS either, and for the same reasons.

Sounds like a great show with alot of motivated collectors in attendance. Will have to come over for it sometime!

Thanks Frank! Was also thinking of photos of WAF members having fun at the show, you know, this often involves a good beer. We used to post lots of those from the SOS and Max.

Perhaps some are not longer able to do it after "SOME" beers .
Ciney beer is a local speciality , very good but rather strong

[Frank Schneider]

I only took one pic, a total shot of the hall. Blurry, but not due to the beer. The Ciney beer is not particularly strong as far as I know, but very tasty. Hard to stop after one.

For me, it's a day of father-son bonding as well. My dad and I arrive early, have a few drinks, large sausage with onions, talk war stuff and - hopefully - enjoy the weather. And meet up with some fellow-collectors if possbile. We do not have a thing like a WAF table here, unfortunately. Would like to see faces with the names.

KR,
