Farb is a term used in the reenacting/collector community to discribe a kit that would be historically inaccurate, cheap quality items, or just plain fantasy items made up by vendors. This kit is farb for WW1 because I am wearing a GM18 which wasn't mass introduced until 1918/mainly post war and...

Yes, they are type 2 repros and they function well. Originals are like $1000 and then you have to try to hunt down the loading tool, but they make repros for $500 with the loading tool so I picked up a couple I was going to get three, but I figured not then there would be no more money for...

Beautiful Egg... Nice!

I can take a closer look and let you know what is up with it. Also would you know how old that one cockade is, is it a repro or repainted original? Are the chinstraps usually pretty cwispy, this one has a few age cracks in the leather.
