So I have a little time before events and I'm in need of a few things. Reputable makers please. I'm not looking to spend a ton of money, so if the items can be well used, or in need of small repairs.

I need a new jacket, preferably a civilian sack coat, or a early war commutation jacket in size 52-54

I also am in need of an early pattern cap pouch

Civilian or militia style belt that fits a 48 waist

A knife, spoon, fork combo, properly stamped an such

And finally I would like a tared civilian style wheel cap in size 24.


For trade I have:

Unlined new york depot fatigue blouse by you know who. Not sure of the size, but i'm a 52 and it fits me a shade too big. like half a size or so.
It has been used for 2 seasons, small holes on the seam near the armpit. I did a field repair with some cotton thread I had in my housewife.

I also have a kibler knapsack, not sure of the maker, but it is well made, very lightly used.

I also have a W&W 4 button jacket, size 54 i think, It has some stains on the lining, but other than that not too much dirt, no holes or anything. Good condition.

Armisport '42 cut down to a two band size, it's been defarbed. I'd only trade this for another rifle/musket. Either a two band enfield or mississippi rifle.

Adam, was the 1842 cut down to one of the known confederate salvage sizes done at the Macon Arsenal in GA, as documented by Murphy and Madaus, or at a random length?
