My favorite dressing for all leather is Fiebings aussie leather conditioner. It's grease and beeswax. Protects and waterproofs.

Denix non-firing replica.

Artemis Ward's humor books were all written in exaggerated Hoosier dialect.

Starr's Battery will be there. How often can a reenactment group fight on the same actual battlefield their namesake fought on? Look for our bronze 6 pounder.

Aren't they still on ebay?

Hello,

I'm looking for information on reproducing proper Artillery Primer packs. I have one PDF of the Frankford label and have seen a few photos of surviving packs and general dimensions.

Ft Union trading post in Williston ND used to do a great Civil War encampment. I went several years ago when I was stationed in SD. It was on the trail to the Montana Gold Fields that were very...

Where are you stationed? That might make things easier too. We have a small artillery group outside Fort Bragg that does things as correctly as possible.

On a side note, the molasses will work great for removing rust from a canteen. I've used a vat of molasses to de-rust many things.

I spent a few years out in Rapid City SD at Ellsworth AFB. I volunteered at Fort Laramie, WY and did events with the 3rd US Vol "Galvanized Yankees" at Fort Casper, WY. I even went up to Fort Union...

Well, if it is for sale then you do have a chance to get it back in the family.

This is the one you are thinking of. It was also the cover of Civil War News. I'm wearing the white blanket roll in lower corner.

Can anybody else see it?

Here is one I made years ago for my Frasier Bros' Brook's Patent Writing and Toilet Kit. Made from a broom handle, cotton cord, and boar bristles from an old shaving brush.

That brings back memories. I reenacted out there in the late 90's when I was stationed in SD. It is a great site. The 3rd US Vols were a great bunch of folks. Wish I could make it.

I did many of those events at the Railroad Station Museum back in the mid 90's it was a great site and a lot of fun.

He is on the WWII proboards pretty often.

I wish more folks have a chance to read McElroy's editions. I have most of them as originals. A few have been digitized and can be found. They are as good as the Hinman.

It is really easy to make your own. All you need is a few yards of duck or drill, buttons and thread. I just finished a type II half and I have less than $20 invested in it.

My Confederate Oil Cloth arrived about an hour ago. I'm very pleased with the quality and workmanship.

Can't beat the service! Ordered on Wed the 2nd - arrived Fri the 4th.
