Are there any Romanian WWII reenactment societies?

I emailed him and asked about Friday June 30th. No one knowing English will not be a problem since my father-in-law is with me as well as my wife's grandfather. If anyone else knows how to contact him can you please do so?

Thanks

The museum is open between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm (you could enter until 4.00 pm). When do you think you could go there? I think is the best around midday. I’ll try to inform Dragos, also by phone, about your coming on Friday, June 30th.

Kepi,

Just found out that we are heading to Iasi for a wedding when we land. We will be in Bucharest July 17th/18th until July 20th when we leave for NYC. Can PM me here on the forum and will send my personal email.

Ok, heading to the shop and museum on July 19th around 11 AM. Can someone PM or email me the list of items to complete the gear aspect of the impression? Forgot it and can't retrieve it here in Romania for some reason from the US. Also, what about boots? Saw somewhere some pics but can someone send detailed information on them? Might be able to get them made here but incase I can't would like to get them made in New York.

What do you think about the Swedish boots listed here at WEP?


Western European Products

That is the model that I'm talking about, I have a pair, but they were used in the army fortunately before putting them into storage they were repaired so the sole was brand new when I bought them.

I bought my pare from Belgium last year for only 15euros

Since I bought them I have only cleaned them and polished with old style shoe polish from Kiwi.

Here are some pictures:






Edited:

They have been used on earth and on concrete, (result: they need hobnails on earth but not on concrete ), also I have been with them in 4cm of water and they have no leeks.

There are more boots on the 3rd page of the link I posted. These were the ones I was looking at.

Just for my curiosity I would like to know if the problem of the quarreled replica WW2 uniform was solved. I wonder if Calarasi got his money back and if he returned the uniform and equipment to Dragos.
This elucidation is most necessary if we have to deal with honest people.

Heard that Dragos never received the items back.

Does anyone know if these are still available for purchase?

Some of them are here: http://militaria.histoireetcollections.com...ns-numeros.html . You can find them also at French book-shops (that also sell old books) and at militaria fairs in europe.

Here are the boots I can find for sell:



Here are 1940's boots but unfortunately they do not have them in correct size:

Don't forget to mention the source of the pictures: http://www.wephaus.com/products.asp?cat=11&pg=2 .

For Romanian WWII boots you can choose between Swedish WWII type boots or German WWII repro low boots. But the Swedish ones are a closer match.

German boots are mostly reproduction and at least $125 a pair so I am going with the Swedish boots at a lot less cost


Thought I did link WEP earlier

UPDATE on NMM Uniforms

Just received email from Dragos and he found some wool like what he has on display at the museum, just needs to color it. Would contact him while he has it

He also said this was close to what he had Woolrich Fabrics #58 but found out the company will make what you want. Send them a swatch of wool and color to them and they will make it for a 400 yard minimum order. Might be good way to go but would raise cost of the kit most likely

Are there any European sites that have them for sale? Only found one here in the US.
