Heer Sniper/Combat Soldier Display

[Glenn McInnes]

Hi Guy's

I am snowed in today and finally had the chance to put this display together. The Army smock recently came from a Canadian Vets estate sale.
It really is painfull sometimes dressing these things

It would be nice to see other smocks if you have the time.

re

Indeed Glenn as always a very nice display you have

Here is mine,maybe you saw it already on the other thread






BTW : I bought the eagle

[John Pic]

I would say that appears to be a fine model of a harbinger of death,rather than a thing of beauty.My wife would slap me if I thought these were beautiful.Very nice display.

[Glenn McInnes]

Thanks all for the kind words. John that is a very nice display.


Here is another great setup sent to me by a fellow forum member.Check out that snipers rifle

Hello Lubos ,all are sniper smocks

[MGN]

John,
To be a bit more accurate these are called smocks. We like to add the term sniper to a few things in this hobby,

Yes Micheal Indeed your right but we call them in europe sniper smocks
This means not that every type of this smoke was used by a sniper
Maybe that is simpler to say then a sumph smock with hood
There are also smocks produced without the hood in sumph/tarn
we call them also smocks
Also the splintern version also called smock(without hood)

So your indeed right on this one ,but I think if some european collector
talks about a sniper smock he talks about this one

[Glenn McInnes]

Other than what John has mentioned I think the fact that they are deemed by collectors as snipers smocks is because of the camoflauge face veil which are often attached to the hoods of these..
