Slightly off topic but thought I'd post. Found these images of different re-enactors. I believe there is going to be some exhibition in London next year.

Thanks for posting.

These guys certainly take their hobby seriously. I wonder if anything is original or all made for the re-enactor community? That first guy's tunic and tschako certainly look real, even if the sleeve eagle doesn't.

I was at the War and Peace Show recently and there was a number of original tschakos for sale (at hefty prices up to �600 as well - not many were selling...). From what I can gather the uniforms (with the exception of panzer wraps) are not being reproduced (too niche) so I would say that the tunics and tschakos are original).

There are a million police EM and officers belt buckles out there, all claiming to be original and in the vast majority of instances are repros.

There was a number of vendors from mainland Europe over with interesting items for sale but my knowledge isn't really up there yet so I didn't buy anything. Interesting though was I saw for the first time a selection of repro Meister and assorted EM ranks shoulder boards for sale. They looked spot on, right colour braid and backing.

As you probably know, everything is being knocked off now. As ever 'Caveat emptor'.

And Bill - care to educate me (us) on the incorrect eagle you mention?
