    Hi Karl-Johan,

    If you mean the Wickelgamaschen that were used by the Gebirgsjaeger, I wish you luck !
    These are very, very hard to find, and I mean the 70 cm long ones that were intended for these troops.
    A nice pair of mountain boots turn up once in a while on eBay though, it's just the price ...

    MfG,
    Bart

      I belive that Bill Sheay of Ruptuered Duck has a pair on his site.

          Hi John,

          I believe so, at least I have three different sizes. The long ones are the standard Wehrmacht types, the short ones Gebirgsjäger. The middle ones I do not have proven facts, but judging some period pictures, these were sometimes worn by Gebirgsjäger when wearing the Wickelgamaschen a bit higher over the anckles.

          MfG,
          Bart
