I have my Tommy uniform, webgear, and Enfield. Where can I find the rest?

It rather depends on what you mean by the rest. If your kit/uniform already
includes helmet and ammo boots, and you have your web gear, including the
water bottle, helve, entrenching tool, etc., and you have your enfield, then it
like you are ready except for ammunition, stripper clips, and perhaps a few odds
and ends.
So - can you be a bit more specific?
Also, before a moderator mentions it - you should go into your profile and setup
a signature.

I figure you mean tools, so, when trying to buy odds and ends, Ebay is the best/most bang for your buck. But before you actually bid/purchase on ebay check with your unit commander. Also your unit quartermast/other members might have extra tools they are willing to sell. Introduce yourself! It's always great to get to know another tommy. Hope to see you in November!  |

haha Yeah I typed this pretty late at night so I should have delivered this better. I am missing insignia, canteen, mess kit, helmet, and ammo boots. I have seen a few places where I can get the boots and if I recall correctly they were $300 after shipping.

Some will depend on which unit you have joined. Helmet - probably e-bay with a replacement helmet liner (if needed) from Prairie Flower Leather www.pflco.com/. Ammo boots (for WW1 cannot have toe caps)... The LF are authorized to use: a) What Price Glory - about $85 plus shipping and handling b) Civil War Boots - about $200 plus S & H - about a 12 week wait. c) Lennons www.williamlennon.co.uk/categories/world-war-1-boot.html about $165 pounds - so give or take the exchange rate - near $300.00 Mess Kit - the one sold by What Price Glory Water Bottle - e-bay. For WW1 it needs to be blue - if a new cover and cork are needed they can be bought through WPG. Great War Militaria also usually has a supply of blue water bottles. Shoulder Titles and cap badges - don't know of anyone who makes copies - so only originals - via e-bay or such. Any other type of Insignia - check with your unit. |
