Resurecting a old thread Mark wheres the blank firing browning h.p from?

Tell me about it, can be a pain in the arse though at times!

Probably the easiest and cleanest way!!

Why not strip or bleach it, then dye it with both a green and say a dark navy blue colour only a guess?!

Beats my 'finds' from normandy! let me know next time your going anywhere lol!!

'finds'? care to share Mike?

E-mail sent mark! great pictures btw!

Yet again thank you! so is it normal for the 118 team to pick up "faults" in there sons uniform? something i've experienced for a good few years!!

so essentially what i'm asking is am i correct by troopers choice of personal weapon?

will do! with pleasure! have to get everything together!

collections are a bloody addiction! i cant stop buying!!!

well i found a picture and details! so if we make the bash an ale to you good sir!!

i have a couple of pics with several troops one of which contains 4 troops 1 has a m16 203, 2 have m16's and 1 has the S.L.R, So used that as a referance point, and with most thing sas its the troopers preferance!

sorry should have said, i also do the argyll's! but i try to get things such as webbing, weapon procedures etc as close as possible, rather than just wear a uniform!!

Right! my dad was in the R.M.P from 1951 to 1953 as his national service, He has asked me to put a little note on the site see if any one can help.

He would like to know of any pictures or information surrounding his time there the details i have are:

Stationed at Inkerman barracks,

Was part of 247 provost co,

Unusually wore canadian green battle dress whislt other troops wore standard b.d's,

My dad is Cpl. J.McChesney

Can anyone help??

Over to you's!!

i try to portray the soldier as accurately as i can so all info greatly welcomed, as i want to do you guys justice!

Thank you for clearing that up, agreed useless was a tad strong! dependant who you speak to there reactions all vary! was the use of a l4 mags shunned??

im finding these quirks really intersting!! one thing you guys might help with.. is it correct that the l4a1 mags were useless in a S.L.R as they were gravity assisted?

sorry to go off topic, i re-enact the sas of the falklands conflict am i able to join forces 80?

First let me apologise i joined yesterday, but have spent many hours looking through this brilliant site!!!

I am james i'm 23 and have been in to anything historical for the past 10 years, started off with re-enating with 12th SS hitlerjugend from the age of 15, and did that for a number of years amasing a collection of uniforms! Then one or two events prevented me doing the SS, so i went on to my true love 22nd SAS and S.L.R'S!! And have done that ever since, always looking for new kit so anyone of interest let me know!! keep promising to get round and do a replica "Pinky" but hey one day!! unless anyone wants to donate a genuine one?? ill be grateful!!

Thanks for listening, Well reading!!:thanx:

APPRECIATED! on a random my dad was in the R.M.P in 1951 to 1953 and wore canadian green battledress any one any ideas where i can get a large blouse?

unless its used for educational purposes (same as displaying the uniform) even then you have to apply to local authorities for a permit if i remember rightly, has been a while since i looked into it!

still alot of bad memories i would think!

correct! its a nazi party members badge, this chap has one and a bit of information on them...
