Thanks guys !
Yes i have just sourced a Lebel and will need to get the garance trousers , gaiters and some footwear that resembles , as almost impossible to get originals.The pre war pack in blackened canvas is hard too ! Harder than 08 kit , though mid war French kit is not too difficult .

Thanks !
Its tricky with WW1 French collecting in UK . A bit closed to people outside France though easier in the USA as Hollywood bought up surplus French kit after WW1 to use in their movies !
