I have 6 of them. They will get passed down to my kids. |

Almost any military surplus company should have these blankets. I looked on gunnyssurplus.com and they have some for $25... Not all wool blankets are the same. I think the best value out there today is the italian officers blanket: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=146518 There are other places that have this blanket. Its a good replacement for the (at this time rare) german one. |

Since I just ordered a couple of German blankets, and I don't want them to get swamped with orders, I won't mention Omaha's Surplus...
I have one that just got chewed up by the dog last night.  It's the nicest blanket I have, but they're almost freaking unobtainium, so I went ahead and ponied up the $40/ea for two more from Omahas.
