Buying British WW1 uniform
Hi all
Could anyone recommend a shop/shops which deal in original British WW1 uniforms/webbing/equipment for sale? Not much shows up on eBay, and the shops I've visited seem to do mainly reproduction stuff. Thanks Colin

One of the better dealers out there and he does seem to have more WWI stuff than most. WD Militaria is also worth a look. Personally mate, I would avoid Regimentals like the plague; had a friend who was seriously ripped off by 'em

Colin,
I have dealt with Regimentals for over 40 years do your research and you'll be fine(and no my collection is not full of fakes). I have had to returned one or two items and never had an issue getting a refund which is more than I can say about many of the less well established dealers I have had the misfortune to deal with(none of the above mentioned included). regards Mark |

Just backing Marks observations. Bit late I know! Regimentals are very good. I have been a customer for 25 years and had some excellent items but like everything know your subject. Only once had to return an item and got a no quibbles refund with no ill feelings. Some rare items have been sourced thro them. Pricey but if bought and kept you win in the long term.
