Anyone know a good website to find the gear and uniform of the 7th Armoured Division? Unfortunately, Ebay and Amazon are not the answers. neither are toppots, atthefront, ima-usa, or ikustore.
If anyone has any input, it'd be greatly appreciated.

What do you want to know.
Kit in incredibly varied, depends on year, time of year, unit, etc etc.
What you'll want for a 'classic' infantry look is, top to bottom:
MKII steel helmet in a sand paint job Khaki drill (KD) aertex half buttoned shirt Khaki drill (KD) shorts or bombay bloomers (early desert war) 37 pattern webbing scrubbed with salt water until its quite pale hose tops (like footless khaki socks) anklets or puttees ammo boots SMLE rifle

In winter any of the european battledress could be seen mixed and matched, even great coats as its cold at night (trust me i've been in the north african desert at night and its bloody freezing!). You also see mixed in KD bush shirts and also KD trousers but shorts are most common. Our group doing 'yorks and lancs' infantry Note one lads has a service green/brown painted helmet, uncommon but not unknown. I forgot to mention you'll also need a 'box' service respirator to wear on your chest. I'm the officer with the revolver
