Hi Jack,

It depends on what type of kit you are looking for,for original WW2 Uniforms,webbing etc ebay US as you'll get gear far cheeper than in the UK even after paying shipping.

Let me know what you're after and I'll go through my spare kit.

Cheers

Ebay is a good source, other collectors and re-enactors and of course militaria trade shows. You just add one or two items at a time over a period of time. good luck.
