Fox Military Equipment, Hinsdale, Il. has great repo wings and other insignia (most all countries). I'm trying to locate their P.O. # but can't find right now. They only deal through the mail. Maybe someone else has the box #.
Found a site the other day for a U.S. WW1 uniform. I don't know how authentic it is, but there is a tunic, breeches and campaign hat for only $298. See at www.costumeemporium.com/images/WW1.html. The picture shows brass buttons but a little bronze paint would take care of that. I'm sure it's not as good of quality as those from Great War Militaria but might be good enough for someone not interested in getting into heavy reenacting.
