Please let me introduce myself: I’m Chris Weiss, the founder of Edelweiss Militaria. I’ve recently developed an extensive line
of first-class reproduction items for reenactors/collectors of WW2 Wehrmacht uniforms and accessories.In addition to my original and reproduction items, I’m building a listing of reenactment units at my site. By exchanging links, I can hopefully generate more exposure (potential members) for your unit while you would gain access to another possible source of reenactment items.
My currently available items include LW para helmets (M40 Stahlhelms are under development), SS camo items, R71 Motorcycle/sidecar combinations, Kubelwagen components, field gear and insignia.
The items that I am selling, have for the most part, been reproduced from originals that I have taken to China for manufacture. I know the quality to be first class, so I gladly offer a money back guarantee on my offerings
Enough about the business. Here’s a little background on me:
I am a veteran of the Korean War era. I.E. Heavy Equipment Foreman, ll2th. Combat Eng. Battalion 82nd. Ohio Inf. Division.
I have been reenacting since 1978 in Waffen SS units. First in the LSSAH, now in the 500 Abt. SS Fallschirmjager. I have managed to collect 12 original WW II German vehicles since 1971. I was a BMW dealer in Motorrad 1971-1982. This gives me the experience to know a thing or two about these vehicle – notably the excellent new-made R71 motorcycles I carry.
Sincerely,
Chris Weiss
President
