German Tent Poles - Originals???

[hatrick]

I was wondering if someone could tell me if these tent poles are original or not?? They are about 13.75" long and seem to have all the correct features.

Is 13.75" the standard pole length??

Thanks,
Eric

Sorry, but it appears that your tent poles are French. They measure 35 cm long and I think a German one is 37 cm. Another giveaway is the shape of the end of the pole - the French ones neck down visibly and the tip is parallel sided, but the German ones aren't necked down much if at all. Thus the wood tips taper a little.
I just bought some Swedish poles, they look very close except for being too long at 39cm. The ends have that nice German shape to them too. Happily, two of them with two French poles gives just the right lenth pole for reenacting set ups...
