looking good! I remmeber when thats about all the stuff I had,
Belive it or not, I got a ton of stuff at salvation army and vintage clothing stores. the best bag was 3 m1941 jackets for 10 bux each, then there was a time I found a tanker jacket for $30, which turned out to be an "at the front" repro!!!!! (you got to wonder how it ended up in good will) anyway, keep up the good work! -Gordak

Lookin pimpalicious mauser. Did you mean m1936 suspenders? Looks kinda weird. Where's the D-ring and hardware where you attach stuff and where the 2 straps split on the front?

They are older suspenders, they are very early ones, before ww2 i think.

Russian- At the Front has overcoats under the 'Original' section. Just click on 'original uniforms'.I think they still have them anyway. It's been a while since I looked.
