Norwegian Button Tents (Knappeteltduken)

[Nic Le Becheur]

Dear all,

Does anyone know where I can get hold of some of those old Norwegian Army diamond-shaped canvas button tent sheet shelter half poncho thingies in camo 1 or 2 pattern, without going to Norway for them? No-one in UK seems to have any.

I have managed to source from www.forsvarsbrukt.no but the postage out of Norway costs very nearly as much as the article itself!

Any ideas?

Nick.

Hello Nick

Ah, the famous Silvermans! Thank'ee, Twodogs... but believe it or not, at 20 quid plus £6 p&P, getting them posted from Norway still works out cheaper per item... :-(
