      Hey everybody.    I'm currently working on a project for my Geography class, and I'm looking for information on what part the British armed forces took in aiding the Irish in their time of need...   Anything helps!   Thanks!   Wade

      any time you can find a complete ww1 helmet with its chin strap and liner is a great find. most of what i see is only the shell.

      when buying German items be very careful. the stuff is off the wall in repros. buy from a well known dealer who is trustworthy.

      i have a question-- are they reproducing ww2 British uniforms and web gear?

      The jacket in your photo is a reproduction (or modern-made costume/reenactment piece) of a classic British Army scarlet tunic, most likely inspired by Victorian-era (mid-to-late 19th century) full dress uniforms, such as those worn during the Anglo-Zulu War period (1879) or similar ceremonial/parade dress from the later 1800s into the early 20th century.

      A Plain Luftwaffe Vest, without colored Staffel Bar, we guess these were worn by non flying units.     The Runner is one Rudolf Waldemar Harbig ,  champion record holder and Olympian, Harbig was a serving soldier in the Reichswehr, joined in 1932, left in 1935 to focus more on competitions, like the 36 Olympics. He is reenlists apparently, Army, but is transferred to the Luftwaffe, assigned to the Fallschrimtruppen, sometime in 1941 and as a Jaeger apparently.   Believe this photo was taken May 24 1941 at the Dresdner Kampfbahn/Ilgen-Kampfbahn where he set another world record over 800 metres. He doesn't seem to have served at the front with 7th Flying Division, his wiki says he was in the Battle of Moscow, but that's probably  error. He is however assigned to the newly raised 6th Fallschirmjäger Regiment in January 1943 in France, A Sergeant, a Feldwebel perhaps, is in Russia with the unit, a part of the 2nd Parachute Division, he is Killed in Action in March 5 1944 Kirovohrad.
