Sequatchiee Posted November 29, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 29, 2019 Many fakes are seen sold by American, Belgian French dealers or particulars since a long time. Who has original with exact weight, exact lenght? QM 1943 and 1946 show exactly these spécifications. I remember a Jeep trailor full of ropes in England before D Day without wrapping paper. As soon as I will find it in a book in my Library about WWII parachutists, I will show to you. Today all ropes I saw in wrapping paper with a splendid tag seem fakes for some reasons I will told later. Her are QM 1943 and QM 1946 text. Your opinion please.....

Easy502 Posted November 29, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 29, 2019 Be careful, rope used on D-Day in Normandy is not the same one used in Holland. Quote www.dday-experience.com Link to post Share on other sites
