The shirt is called a Gymnastyorka! Very nice uniform. Did you have to improvise any with this Bulgarian uniform using any Russian pieces? Since both uniforms were highly influenced by each other I don't think there'd be too much of a difference. Russia's summer uniform and Bulgaria's looked very similar.

Hi. I love this video you did such an excellent job!!! May i ask, besides the rifles, what was the most expensive piece of kit in this loadout? I subscribed i love the Austrian Hungarian empire!!! Maybe not so much what they do, but the military stuff is world class for the time.

I wonder how those soldiers did manage to withstand hot summer months in that thick wool uniforms. What is Your experience wearing this in hot temperatures? I can't imagine how would they keep them in shape in muddy trench warfare.

Hello! I'm currently in charge of the living history program at the National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, MO. I just forwarded this video to a young man who was looking to do an Austro-Hungarian impression. You’ve done a great job! I'm a bit late to your channel, but I find it quite fascinating.

It’s to my knowledge the M95 conversions look identical to the WW1 ones with just the S stamped on the receiver. When you say that do not resemble the originals, what other differences in appearance are there?
@postcardsofhistory19144 ай бұрын
@@cadenlovelady8885 So, ‘Stutzen’ carbines are shorter by several inches at least - easiest tell is they will have sling loops below the rifle. I just did some reading again to make sure - and there does appear to be another carbine model made during ww1, likely in greater numbers, which is slightly longer and has the sling loops on the side like mine. The difference being the ‘Stutzen’ was made with specialist formations like mountain infantry in mind while the regular carbine would be geared more towards cavalry - thus the side mounted sling loops. Page I just referenced - M95s are a science unto their own. hungariae.com/Mann95.htm This is actually a great (and famous) photo to see what I mean - www.reddit.com/r/austriahungary/comments/if35mk/brave_austrohungarian_stormtroopers_armed_with/ - you can see that both rifles in this photo are far stubbier and the end than my own, however, one has bottom mounted sling loops and the other side mounted.

A Good scale of issue… you have insight and an understanding of your era… Respect. Regarding scales of issue, it takes about a year to get it right, i always look to the boots.. if sometime cares to get any of it right, the will bother about the boots first as they are the most difficult.

The Kaiserschutzen are a major part of my La Grande Guerra studies. Your related articles are excellent, I learned a lot. The Italians called the M95 Mannlicher "ta-pum" from the sound the bullet makes going by, if you have ever been shot at, even wrote a song about it

Funny, I got hooked the same way. A few years ago I received a Steyr m95 “stutzen” for Christmas and started doing some research, ended up falling down the same rabbit hole. I collect original relics as well as reproduction equipment for actual use. Is there anyone who makes repro edelweissen? Thanks!

Excellent presentation, militaria/gear, & history! One of my primary historical studies is the Hochgebirgsfront of la Grande Guerra - books [German & Italian], firearms, medals, bits of uniform as there really is no reenactment in MT. If you ever get a chance visiting this region of the Alps, from the cities & museums, to the soaring peaks - do it! I was stationed in Vicenza in the US paratroopers, infantry mind you, & visited the peaks, hiking but also vertical rock & ice with my Italian friends. Brought back some artifacts - shrapnel & grenades and all that, as well as an AH helmet at a flea market in France. Anyway, I made some goggles with old welding glasses & leather, not too farby =) Anyway, good show & I look forward to your presentations.

They are extremely rare obviously but every now and then varusteleka a Finnish company will put some up for sale that the German and Austrian military gave them before and during world war 2. I believe the only thing they did to them is change the liner and chin strap but I’m not 100% sure about what they changed

I’ve always heard the ammo pouches and everything else they carry it was known as web gear . That’s the belt shoulder harnesses and everything that goes on it . Not the back pack or anything else is part of the webbing. . I’m not an expert about Austrian gear I like it this is the first time I’ve ever seen it up and close.

Were the early war kaiserschutzen uniforms made in stone grey? I always see them depicted as a very neutral stone grey and never in a blue or green tint. Secondly with the right stitching and cutting, could a ww2 german tunic work for a m16 kaiserjager uniform or would the color be off? I've noticed austro hungarian feldgrau items tend to be darker in color than german ones
