    My Grampy served in WWII as a Technician 3rd class in the 1155th. Got my passion for WWII stuff from him. I also collect a lot of other stuff that has nothing to do with this so I don't have the room to keep stuff pristine but I do enjoy finding WWII uniform stuff that's been well-loved and I make it civilian-wearable. The issue overcoat is genuinely my best winter coat, and the 1950s repro i found is just as good. Big fan of Ike jackets and "Frycook hats". Currently, I'm doing a painted A2 leather bomber jacket, but with the theme of the graphic being Star Trek's StarFleet to go with an original-series captain uniform recreation.

    If you take a picture of the worn stamps on equipment use your flash. It helps enhance the residual ink.
    Also I'm a former trooper, 85 to 90. As well as a W.W.II Collector/ Historian for the past 45 years. You are doing an amazing job with educating others about the W.W.II Soldier. Keep up the good work

    I have a WWI cartridge belt from 1918 that doesn't have the straps for the clips either. So I guess the Army went back to basics with the M1923 design post WWII. Even the post war belts went back to the brass buckles over the Zinc buckles.

    So I’ve always been interested in reenactment as I’m an avid history buff and know I would love it but I always felt like I’d be out of place in historical re-enactments since I’m Indian. How common is it to see POC in WW2 reenactment events or what’s the general thought on it?

    I used to collect US WW2 stuff and ended up with some unusual stuff: a forage cap and class A field jacket both in the lighter OD shade. A pair of HBT fatigue trousers, 1941 pattern, but apparently made by a private tailor for an officer. Something that looked much like an MA1 jacket, but dated 1945 and privately tailored for a USAAF officer. A very nice aluminum US Army espresso pot from 1941. A wool ETO jacket. A pair of paratrooper wings made out of melted metal of some sort made in a prison. An Allied Lire note with a woman's name and address in Rome written on it. An apparently experimental reversible one-piece snow suit, dated 1945 and I never saw one like it, nor in books. The last one I found on a junk stall in a market in Paris. All sold or given away now.

      ​@@andrewvoighttheoriginal I was taught that the slash moves were directed towards the neck, jab was directed to the torso. We were expected to keep the blade honed sharp. I expect the slash was fairly effective with a sharp blade. Think death from a neck slash may be faster than a stab wound. USMC did study of bayonet wounds during WW2.
