Hi All! I am a new member of the OC's. So I am a bit green around the gills, so pardon me while I get my footings sorted!  I wish to portray my Grandfathers Regt. The Queen's Own Worcestershire Hussars. I have managed to get some of his orginal Regimental items, but I need to find: Riding breetches .303 Hotchkiss MG (De-ac) Can get from the US, but they wont send to the UK. Cavalry Great Coat. Plastic Horse, eventually, + equipment, for my humble steed! All the above cWW1, of course. Has anyone got any thoughts concerning the above? Regards Rob  |

As far as I know, MHW are not taking orders at the moment because of a backlog. Sending them an email to see what they have to offer wont do any harm in the meantime.

I think they may have opened now - a victim of their own superb success! Superb customer service. Good luck with getting the Hotchkiss .303, i'd love to see one (I used to own a metal box for Medium Mark A and Mk V Heavy Tanks for Hotchkiss ammo clips) - it would no doubt cost more, but could be possible to ring the Birmingham Proof House and see if they can have it delivered to them, then Birmingham checks it out for you?
The Cavalry greatcoat I believe still hasn't changed, or if it has only relatively recently - one of our members, Dave Luck, who does 4th Dragoon Guards has one, but haven't heard from him for a while

Hi All Thanx for welcoming me to the OC's... Thanks also for your relevant info. Especially to the Leics.Tiger concerning the B'um Proof Hse. possibly receiving the Hotchkiss MG, for me. (Its a shame there isnt a Tiger smiley here for U!) Does anyone know of: Andy Smerden of History Horse, Web address? As nowt comes up for him, apart from some shots of him on his steed, at some majour event down south. But NO contact details for him? No Cav. Gr8 Coat, & No to Breetches from Sabre...Will have to keep trawling. Regards |

Hi Robin,
I don't have Andy Smerden 's address, but you may be able to contact him via the "Living History Worldwide" site (http://skirmishmagazine.ning.com/) as he is an active member of their 'Cavalry' discussion group.
Any help?
Tom
