Where Do You Find Military Surplus?

[crunchie]

Where do you find military surplus and how do you check it out to be sure it's the (genuine item) real McCoy?
Thanks!

Military surplus which country? I get Romanian military items (clothing) directly from the manufacturer. For small items (like compasses, so on) I have some friends in the military which can "get" for me, but I have to wait.

Ebay, surplus/military stores, and I can buy at the German Army (Bundeswehr) "quartermaster"

To make sure it´s genuine, I´ll check the labels (asking for pic´s) and you should know what item was issued and what not. Very often seller´s try to sale any "Mil-look-crap" and at least, you can smell it

Housil, can you tell me if that is real Bundeswehr issue?

A I never was with the mountain troops - I don´t know for sure.
But as it is sold a the LHD - it´s issued.
RÄER is a nice and unexpansive shop, but their delivering times (>3weeks) and service (no reply on emails or phone) can be challenge to your patience...

Thank you very much. Other reccomandations you have to get these boots? (other online stores you reccomend)

Have an eye always at ->ebay.de<-

Browse thrue ->this too<-

Do NOT buy if it say´s "MIL-TEC". They are crap. It´s the own brand of a Military Store, very common over here for low budget but low budget means low quality always! MIL-TEC copies all kind of military clothing and equipment. We call it "Müll-Tec" ("trash-tec" )

If you doesn´t want to spend €159-179 for a Lowa, Maindl or Haix, try this:

Genuine Bundeswehr 2006 Model for ->"just" €60<- and genuine 2008 Model for ->€80<-
