Hey Guys,
My name is Dave Sessions. I've been reenacting WW2 for a while but have taken the last few years off. I'm really lookin' to get back into it, meet some new guys, and suit up as a FNG in one of the best units (imho) of all time. What I've always loved about 101-F company is the dedication to authenticity, the thoroughness regarding the history, and what looks to be really solid comraderie.
If you guys'll have me (out for a try) I'll need to get down to Juan's and pick up some AB gear - but I still have a storage locker full of weapons, gear, loaner gear, small wall and other tents, and more.
Thanks for your consideration...
Dave 805.358.3519

Thanks for the note. I should be good to go for a late war impression for George in February.
Some questions on gear... I've got double buckles, i want to get a set of m43's that match and that I can beat up a bit - ATF is a good source for that? I'm looking at the M2 from J Murray. The shells are the same as an M1? You guys prefer the fixed bales? Al was saying hold off on the stencil...

Welcome Dave!
Lot of guys have mix of different vendors and originals for M43s. ATF is a popular choice. I have WWII Impressions pants and original jacket. I have several J Murray helmets and have been very pleased with all of them.
M1C shells are the same besides the chin straps, the airborne versions have snaps to attach to the inside of the liner as well, other than that they are the same. M2s are similar to early M1s in the fact they are both fixed bale, but the shapes are different.

Dave. juan at Ww2 Impressions is sold out of 43s. He has the best by far but has been unable to restock for some reason. I have been waiting for trousers for over 2 years now. Anyway ATF has the 43 set. Get them there. J Murray has great helmets. Thats your best bet. Get the fixed D bale helmet. It works for all impressions. Make sure you get it without markings. I can add them for you.

Picked up a nice m42 set on eBay. Used, weathered, older ATF. Still keeping an eye out for an ATF restock on m43's. Have my originals if need be. I'm going to give j Murray a call this week and get the helmet...

Well... the new guy's already confused as shit...
"What is it now, New Guy..?"
Well... (whine, whine) I don't know what to wear...
"Fer cryin' out loud..! What'dya mean you don't know what to wear..?!"
Well... (whine, whine) I got my M42 set...
"Good..."
...And my jump boots...
"Perfect. Everything you don't need for this battle..."
...And everything I need for the battle seems to be out of stock, or not in my size, etc... So I'm going to wear my original m43 jacket, dark hbt pants, double buckle boots, and lots of OD 7 field gear. If J Murray gets back to me (I've been leaving msgs for a week) I'll have my helmet. Otherwise it's the M1...
Dave
