777 AAA Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 I have some questions about the US WWII small wall tents. I'm about to buy one missing the wood poles. I would like to know if there are more than the two big center poles (I mean, are there 4 corner spokes?) I would be interested in pictures and mesurements for the required poles. Or if anyone knows where to buy repros. Any help would be much appreciated. Anyone selling a Wall Small tent, please contact me! Quote
whistlinwolf Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 There are only the two uprights and one ridge pole, no corner poles to the tent. If you need measurements/ pictures I have one stashed away at a friends house and can get them for you in a couple of weeks time. Quote

Hi whistlinwolf. Thank you for your answer. I would be glad if you can provide me with the measurements & pictures. I'm wondering if it will be difficult to rebuild the metal parts of the poles. Are the poles round or do they have facets? Quote
whistlinwolf Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 The poles do have facets, when I am over at my storage in a week or so I will measure and photograph for you. Quote
777 AAA Posted December 8, 2005 Author Posted December 8, 2005 I found an interessting ressource webpage in an interessting website. here you are: http://users.skynet.be/jeeper/tentage.html Quote
777 AAA Posted December 21, 2005 Author Posted December 21, 2005 I bought the tent. I definitively need the two poles (in 2 sections) and the ridge pole. Anyone of you knows where to buy them? Who makes repros? Regards Yves Quote
777 AAA Posted December 21, 2005 Author Posted December 21, 2005 I will also need a M-1941 tent stove, with 6 pipe sections, 2 elbows and 1 round pipe shield. I found some in the USA, but shipping worth 3x the stove's price. May I hope to find one in Europe? Quote
777 AAA Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 Anyone selling a Wall Small tent? Let me know. Quote
whistlinwolf Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I will definately photo the poles on mine for you when I get a chance. Quote
777 AAA Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 Thanks Tim, but I have found the poles and the ridge. But the tent I had found is to small. I don't know what it is for a model, but it is only 7,2 feet long and 6,56 feet high instead of 9' X 9' I thought I had made a great deal :cry: So I'm now looking for the correct sized canopy to match my poles and ridge. :?
