Wheres the best place to buy German field gear?
Hey guys, im looking to start collecting german field gear for an eventual mannequin display. I saw one website which had alot of items and looked promising. Its called Ardennes44.com and is based in europe. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Will
Hi Will
Let me begin to say that there is no best place to buy stuff, there are several
If you are not in a hurry, look in several places , check here first before buying something, and look for good prices....
ardennes44 is a good place, and I know Mathieu, and all his stuff is original, only problem i have that hist stuff is way overpriced, but that is just my opinion... If you have enough money and don't care about prices, his place is a good place to buy stuff.
There are a lot of dealers around (some of them good, some even better, and some just plain bad, with a lof of faked stuff)
My advice, make a plan, what do you want to represent, late war soldier, early war.... etc etc, then start looking for stuff.....

I agree with Tom. Focus on a period and begin with a typical piece of gear like a mess tin or canteen. Also, check our classifieds. Consider going to militaria shows where you can often find a bargain if you look hard enough. There must be some decent shows out your way. Do your homework with a specified hit list of items. NH
Too bad in vegas they dont really come around that often. I was wondering if any websites specialized it in?
I recommend German Ebay...Ebay.de for equipment at affordable prices...go to the Militaria section and check out "Ausrustung"...you'll find everything you need as far as combat gear is concerned...

I took a look at Ardennes44. Very nice stuff - most in top condition BUT the pricing was trés cher as the French say. I saw socks for 350 Euros! Only a few items were in a reasonable price zone. There are a few things there that are affordable for the novice collector but you may wish to start elsewhere. NH
