Equipment Suppliers
Schipperfabrik - German & Austro-Hungarian (as well as French, US & Belgian) uniforms and equipment. US based suppliers, good quality, good value and very nice people to deal with.

Battleorders - For blank-firing pistols, some useful metal replica guns (e.g. Mauser C96) also inert Mosin Nagant ammo at a reasonable price
Ostfront - US based supplier.Mainly ww2 stuff but also for ww1 Russian ammunition/cartridge pouches.
Front of Russia - Ukrainian supplier, full of useful bits (just check with us for authenticity!) - Be very specific about sizes when ordering.

Shop Leybshtandart - Russian supplier (site in Russian - use Google translator) of original and repro militaria - click here for the Imperial Russian repro page. We haven't tried anything from them yet but will be doing so shortly after which we will update this page with our thoughts.
