Need help! Possibly Real FG42 Bandolier?

Hey guys.
Browsing around the Internet, I found an FG42 bandolier on a British site:
[URL="http://www.target-arms.co.uk/product_info.php/pName/german-fallscrimjager-bandolier/cName/world-war-2?osCsid=4f4bc49c6818ebfbd407c147308eef12"]
A friend of mine on YouTube, who just so happens to be a major Fallschirmjager collector, checked his collector’s book and stated that this example here is authentic. Could anyone help to verify/ disprove it?

Look at this one..

Staegemair still selling his fakes every single day. Look at this fake, even Ges.Gesch. is not written as It should be. And there's still a lot of people buying his crap.

Look pal you could be Robert Mugabe for all I know. Why should I believe what you say! I've met a fair amount of crackpots on E Bay so dont order me to change my description or tell me it;s misleading! I NOW OWN this item NOT YOU and I'll sell it as its described.
even if that means allowing buyers to believe that this was found in france in this condition :confused:

My Sterling Colefire Magnum Pistol

I like my Sterling Magnum Colefire pistol. Really nicely ballanced when held. This is a semi automatic in 7.62X25 using modified Sten magazines. The surplus ammo sells for only $120 for a sealed tin of 1260 rounds.

Specs of white wash

There are some relic GERMAN HELMETS from the eastern front with plenty of white wash left.The ones i have,have traces of the white wash.Of course it would wear off a little, and when the snow disapeared in the field ,it would have been essential to get the white wash off as soon as possible,as the helmet with the green fields would have stuck out like a sore thunb.Iv seen many pictures of whitewash being applied ,but never one when the soldiers where trying to remove the white wash.I suppose they soaked the shell ,and wire brushed the white wash off.Any one have any pics of this being done, or any other info on how they removed the whitewash/.I guess the two examples i have with specs of white wash where ones with it removed in the field.lv
