Here is a test of a sibley tent pole and tripod made from the patent. Made by Jason Seger.

Jason Seger has been working on correct sibley tents. He came to the same walk-less conclusion and has made very accurate reproductions. Lately he's heel working on reproducing the stoves and rifle...

NYSM soldiers seemed to have loved lined capes, officers and enlisted. I handled an original 7th ny overcoat and Nast's painting is not embellished in terms of over coats.

Reproduction of a post 1880s cadet plate....one of those military schools. I'll get the plate ID from O'Donnell & Campbell when I can't dig out the book.

We did alot of reading setting out on the Tiger project. The lack of images and the conflicting sources was frustrating but I feel we did it justice.

In the Warren letters for example, their...

And for the regulations for where the band Marches? I have seen bands march both behind and infront of the formation, which way is correct?

After the band plays the Duke of York and is at the end of the formation, do they march back in front or behind the soldiers? I have seen both ways but I cannot find the regulations for this.

How did this turn into a bagpipe frustration thread. The 79th community specifically has improved a great deal. 99% of bagpipes at events these days are being played by confederates.

Lets talk...

I have been working with Shane Miles for a few months to develope kepis. We work off of a few originals we own between us, and made the pattern off of an old broken down cap.

Thank you Bob! What is the complicated answer? Im assuming the regiment number and such is mirrored also?

I debated on where to post this, but General discussion won. I have never seen the reverse of a Pennsylvania national flag canton before. Does it have a mirror image of the PA seal and stars?

Do you have the information for that 9th Corp image?

How many do you need? $35 for the belt plate, $50 for the belt plate and belt in russet or black.We can make any plate. Turned corners, clipped corners, rounded.

Sorry to hijack the thread! Its just interesting on a historical level and a re-enacting/living history/reproduction level. Especially with leather work! I had some original C Boxes with incredibly...

Well put Ross. This reminds me of our conversation about shoddy and less then perfect uniforms and equipment. Is anyone offering accurate "shoddy" leather work?

You're very welcome. I referenced the Castle P. images of the pre war Militia coat being worn.

I was vague in my post. I attached images of the pre war uniform to show that even with the militia impressions, 79th impressions have come along ways. I did not mean to imply that the 79th wore the...

The 79th National Regt is going to have a good turn out. Most are doing the NY state jacket and federal trousers. The rest are doing milita coats and federal trousers...all as per the Regt history....

Work is being done on the 79th's end for Sherman's Brigade. SCAR is looking to fall in with us, we are making it a national 79th event calling all 79th groups to attend. Uniforms have been underway...
