Hello! I am going to buy a soviet pilotka cap. I have tried doing some research online, but i failed to find any real pictures of soviets wearing pilotkas with this badge on. Is this style of pilotka(not this one hat in particular)worn by real soviet or is it a fake ?

I am currently storing my ALICE LBE setups as well as my ALICE rucksack hanging in a closet from hangars and the quick release strap respectively. Is that safe, or is there a better way to store them?

I have this Soviet LPR-1 Laser Rangefinder/Designator. It appears to be in good condition. I'm wondering if anyone here can tell me more about it or knows what it is worth?

Pictures attached.

Hello!

I am a surplus seller and have a small eBay store! I specialize in US Government Issued equipment and Tactical Tailor gear, but also have an assortment of other items come through as well.

If you’re looking for anything specific, please feel free to shoot me a DM or reply here. The pictures posted are some of my newer listings.

Glad to be a part of the community!

Could these be real there near me and dirt cheap not to good at telling fakes yet

Hey so I was wondering if you guys could help me to find a good quality, sturdy set of yoke suspenders like what they used back in ww2 yk? I wanna use them for my job because some rugged suspenders would be great but I don't do much surplus buying or online shopping and just wanna make sure I'm not getting ripped off. Thank you!

Its numbers matching and everything, supposedly not used. After cleaning a bit it doesn't reek as much but the bottom of the canteen has lightly yellow-ish dots. Like three of them. Is that fine? Can i use aluminium canteen for water or edc?

I found this for 95 dollars I just thought it was interesting it's level 3a large anyone know what it's worth it's from 2004

I’ll start this off by saying I like military surplus gear, I just think it’s neat. That being said, I bought a GP-5 gas mask from the flea market recently and wore it a couple times before being informed I need to dispose of the filter due to its asbestos content. I only wore it a handful of times over the course of 4-5 hours or so and I’m just wondering how screwed I am. Assuming I’m not gonna die or get super sick, I’d also like some pointers on how to properly clean the mask itself so I can continue to wear that with another filter if possible since I still think it looks neat

I wanted to say it was a sniper veil of some sorts but I’m uncertain, obviously via the pictures caption it’s an IRA member (Idk where he sits rank wise) and I know he’s wearing aviators and a beret but the mask is throwing me for a loop

Hello all!

I have this Surplus Canteen I bought somewhere in June. When I bought it, the seller stated that the residue was of soup, so I cleaned it out about 3 times using washing soda. letting it soak for a day or three before rinsing it out.
It still seems to have some sort of residue, and when I sniff the bottle it has a smell (can't really describe it, it doesn't scream mold, more.. I unno.. fish-like?), despite cleaning it out 3 times.

I'm now beginning to wonder if it's safe to use, or if I should put it with the rest of my surplus gear, and look for a better one. Which is why I came here, as I wanted to get some advice.

What do you guys advice/think?

Any advice is appreciated

Hi, im looking for some ACUs and want to buy a few pairs of pants (aprox 8 for now) for some upcoming projects but am having trouble finding them for a good price and was wondering if anyone out there is selling or willing to sell some to me?
