I don’t have a specific one in mind, it’s just that my boyfriend’s wallet is due for retirement and I know he’d dig a reproduction like that if I could get him one. I Googled and didn’t find anything. He likes a vertical wallet, doesn’t mind a bigger one. Any suggestions? (Suggestions for other neat wallets with a bit of history or something would also be appreciated.) I’m thinking Christmas.
WW2 repro wallet? Did they have military issued wallets or are you talking about a 1940’s era wallet? You can do a search on EBAY Vintage Wallets or just do a search in general for vintage or repro wallets.
Hope I was of a little assistance, but at least I can get this thread started for you.
Well, I don’t know if they had military issue wallets, I was hoping they did and that you can get one (not real vintage - he wouldn’t want to use it then, probably).
These people are extremely serious about their vintage clothing and accessories, you might try there.
Why *not * use a nice vintage wallet? Unless it was used by Ike or something, it’s just another vintage item. I wear some nice vintage clothing & access. myself.
But here’s a site with some nice replicas, including a wallet:
This site has two repros of German wallets:
On eBay, this one is real and WWII, and not too expensive. Item #

Well, come to think of it, he does wear those German officer boots all the damned time, all four seasons. No idea how old they are.
Almost certainly Cold-war vintage, and East German. I have a pair myself.
Did you notice, by the way, on that Ostfront site, that they sell pictures of German girls back home for your vintage wallet - they’ve got pretty ones, ones with kids, ones with wedding dresses, and “Original German WW2 Wallet Photos- Ugly”. How mean!
(Also, I don’t think they’re that ugly. Just ordinary.)
