Looks good guys

Yes i stitched some myself and also on the ones we are finishing up for the other guys. Yes she is quite talented indeed. Craft educated as tailor then design, management and economy at Uni

I surely do not hope that any of the guys here think i am as good looking as my wife LOL A scary thought indeed.

Regards, Lars

This arrived today, cheers Lars mate As I said in the PM, the workmanship is really superb. It's absolutely a perfect fit as you will see. Thanks again to Anna, I had some fun fitting it. I used some wire combined with a little thing I had lying around made up of cord, hooks and a little anodised aluminium piece. I guess this is the intended purpose for the device but I don't know where it's from, if anyone has a clue please let me know. I soaked the cover before putting it on for a tight fit when dry and I think it worked out well. I've got it on a Quist M42 shell that was probably repainted postwar, with a cleaned Norgie reissue liner I got from Todd.

I really like it, the chance of getting an original one like this is pretty much 0%, so this one made with the correct original Soviet material AND original wehrmacht thread will do nicely

And this one to show the same type of field made cover in wear in Stalingrad. I was going for this look when fitting it.
