They tend to run a bit narrow. I wear a standard width shoe in modern shoes and have a pair of wide Fugawee's and they are still a bit tight. They look better than typical sutler row shows, but are...

Check out Mark Watts on etsy. He makes a few nice ones.

I'm with you. The Remington is fine for NSSA...Not so much for reenacting. The 2-band rule is much less of an issue than the non-issued issue. Like I said earlier. If you must have a 2 bander...

Hi Terry,

The "zouave" rifle is not recommended due to a lack of documented use during the war. It is generally accepted that use of the 1863 Rifle was almost non-existant. The Mississippi...

Here's one of my favorites....Don't think I can pull it off though...it is awesome.

This one is creased down the top...you'll see the look in a lot of photo's of the Westerners around Atlanta. This hat is a bit tight on me so it rounds out the crease more than I wanted...

Found one, mods can close. Thanks.

Thanks for the link, that's pretty cool. There is an article about bullets recovered from the Maple Leaf in a past issue of the Journal of Military Historians. They talk about arsenals producing...

There is an image in the LOC collection of mechanics at Petersburg. The man seated front and center in the image appears to have on a pair of leather braces. Could also just be the straps of an...

The Enfield and 61 Sprinfield will be rifled. The 42 sprinfield can be smoothbore or rifled. In reenacting there is no difference in firing them...both go bang. If you are live firing at a Range,...

Hey Matt,
I really depends on the impression you are doing. You should be able to find out what the 10th ILL was issued for you regular impression. For gettysburg a '61 springfield or an Enfield...

Hi, I'm with the 36th Ill, you'll see us out at events. Check out our site http://b36thillinois.org/. The uniform guidelines for our unit are on there. The best advise I can give you is to buy...

Thanks for posting this info. My other hobby is tournament bass fishing. Be nice to fish a bit at an event in a period manner. Might have to try to build a period wood rod. I already build custom...

Someone asked about a period treatment.

"Several members of Company G received some new boots from home, and knowing that castor oil was a good preserver of leather, they made repeated visits to...

I'd agree with pretty much everything Shawn mentioned. When I started I was 14 or 15 I think. A buddy of mine was getting starting to go with his Dad and I joined in. I got out about 8 years ago...

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Any recommendations on an oil to sort of restore a pair. I have an OLD pair that havent been worn in about 6 or 7 years that are pretty dryed out. I was thinking about Neatsfoot oil, any...

Personally, I would pass. Basically, it looks similar to a forage cap with MANY details missing. That being said it is NSSA ( I havent been to one in years, was fun), so it would probably be fine...

To comment on RJ's posts. When I worked at the Sousa museum in college we had a HUGE collection of antique instruments. JP Sousa's personal collection and then some. Instruments are very resiliant...
