4 Attachment(s)
Looking for a WW2 Canadian (or British-made) circular tent a.k.a Bell tent.

I was suitably impressed last June when I was given the privilege to sleep in one, so now I want want one myself.

Preferably close to Holland, but I will be looking at any offer I get.

Thanks in advance!
Hanno

Find me a muzzle brake for my 17 pounder and you've got your tent. I'll even throw in the right Broad C arrow tent bag. Keep up the good work Hanno, I hope you received my donation. Cheers Rob

Hello Rob,

Even if I could find a muzzle brake, it would be hard to ship to you - would customs believe it is a "lamp fitting, heavy duty"?!? :D

Open to offers?

Thanks,
Hanno

PS: yes we got your donation, thanks!

I've seen one of these up close and was very impressed with its quality.

Hanno, stick some of those beautiful Dutch...
 
tulips into it, and call it vase! Those tent repos look like very good quality, thanks for that link.

Thanks for the link Harry, I would prefer a wartime dated one though.

Bump back to top.

While Rob is hanging on to his tent, I am still looking for one.

Thanks,
Hanno
