Wearing ex military issue and items

[FossilHunter]

I think that it is generally accepted that military uniforms worn in films and theatrical events are ok. It does cause some enthusiasts heartache when the wrong bit of kit, or uniform is wrong and I must admit, that actors armed with the incorrect weapons does cause me angst on occasion.

Fun fact: in the 1966 WWI film, The Blue Max, the production company didn’t have enough mausers, due to filming in Ireland, for the opening infantry battle so the German soldiers are using No4mkIs while the British soldiers are using period correct No1MIIIs.
