Vendors

Comments: A little expensive, but they have a lot of original militaria regularly for sale.  

Comments: Used to be the gold-standard for reenacitng uniforms and equipment, but that's changed in the last few years.  I don't know what the owner is doing or why he's doing it, but he's ruining ATF's long-running reputation IMHO.  More and more, they price gouge you for items that should cost a fraction of what they charge.  The owner likes to crowd-source information on social media then bad-mouth the comments he received in his weekly emails.  ATF used to be all about accuracy, now they seem to be more interested in selling inaccurate WWII reproduction items to idiots who want to wear it as daily streetwear.  I don't like the direction the owner is taking the business.  I'm sure for a while you can still get good stuff from here, but personally, I'm not recommending ATF to recruits any longer.  

Comments: Large selection at competitive prices.  Beware that website reviews are cherry-picked and any criticism is deleted.  I left a negative review of an item.  Not only was the review deleted, my account was deleted.  So the owner is makes sketchy decisions and their customer service has rarely been good to me.  They do have some other good things - their uniforms (while Chinese) are good enough quality and are sold at a good price. 

Comments: A lot of good original items, but overpriced in my opinion.  Some repro field gear is spot on, some of it isn't.  Leather items tend to be made from cheap Chinese leather, so I'd avoid getting anything leather from here.  MG slings are bad.  Prices are definitely on the high end.  

Comments: Metal items (such as flag pole toppers and medals) are made from pot-metal and not very high quality, but they are fairly cheap.  Field equipment and gear are good for the price.

Comments: Prices are very high, but quality is very high.  

Comments: Has a TON of original and repro East Front items, both German and Russian.  Prices range from very cheap to very expensive.  Tends to have items that are very hard to find elsewhere.  

Comments: For the most part, great quality items for the price.  Based out of the UK, but shipping to the US is surprisingly cheap.  Shipping time takes a while, but it's worth the wait.  

Comments: Prices are very high, but quality looks to be very high.  

Comments: No uniform items usually.  Lots of field gear and personal items for pretty good prices.  

Comments: A unique source of valuable information.  John Baum puts in a ton of work to produce English translations of all sorts of German manuals and books.  Highly recommended vendor.  Get the Reibert 1943 to learn everything you need to know to be a Soldat in the Heer!

Comments: Good quality and range of blanks for a good price.  Occasionally, they run out of 8mm and other common rounds, but it's not long before they're back in stock.  Great customer service.  

Comments: The highest quality blanks, but at the highest cost.  No online store - communication must all be through email. 

Comments: Sportsman's Guide started selling red-tipped 8mm blanks recently.  They are the high-quality blanks similar to those sold by Atlantikwall.  The price is competitive.  Buy them up while you can!

Comments: The best Weapon version of eBay out there.  Great place to get gun parts or kits or whole guns/weapons.  Can also find some field gear and original militaria here.  

Comments: Formerly Auction Arms.  Not as extensive as Gun Broker.  

Comments: Great place to get weapon parts and parts kits.  Also a good place to get some helmets and field equipment.  

Comments: none
