This also has a pronunciation guide and Russian alphabet at the front of the book. This would be perfect for officers, NCOs or field desks.

These labels are the missing piece of the Sani kit. There are many vendors selling Sani pouches, but nobody has the labels to complete them. These were copied directly from originals.

We currently have 2 different sets of labels for sale. The first set is for the Sanitäter. The Sanitäter was a fully trained medic. These are reproduced directly from two of the many variations of labels out there. The second set we have is for the Krankenträger. The Krankentäger had less medical training than the Sanitäter and was there to assist him in the treatment of the patient.

We recommend putting rubber cement on both the label and the top lid of the pouch and putting them together. We have found this to be the most effective way of applying them to the pouch. Each set of labels is $5. Our thanks goes out to Demonskates Matthews for providing us with photos of our labels in use.

After a bit of a hiatus we will be reopening shop soon. This all started as an adjunct to our own reenacting. There were some miscellaneous item that we wanted reproductions of but no one offered, so we made them ourselves. We thought they were nice enough that others may want them as well. In any case, we have decided to take things to a higher level. Along with the items we already have here we will be adding many new, and hopefully, not often seen items. We also are working on getting a web site up so it will be much easier to see what we actually have, without having to hunt for it. Also if there are particular items that you wish to see please feel free to send us a message and we will see what we can do.

Thank you to all of you who have taken an interest in this, and that have purchased from us in the past.

We strive to make our products as close to the original as we can.
