1819 US BAYONET BALDRIC BUCKLE
This 1819 model bayonet baldric buckle would have been seen on the US Regulars as well as many militia units up to and even after the US/Mex war. Remember, militias like the National Guard often get the "hand me downs" from the US Regulars and use them long after US reg's have changed. This buckle has a tin back with iron hooks.

PRE-WAR HARDPACK KNAPSACK
Our pre-war hardpack wooden framed knapsack would be one of the most often seen styles of knapsack during the early war years. This was the standard of many pre-war militia units both north and south as seen in countless photos of the era. All Confederate gear was copied from pre-war Union goods with the exception of goods that ran the blockade so even Southern manufactured goods would often be of this style. For Union troops the hardpack would be replaced by the soft pack as the war drug on.
Plenty of room for a change of clothes and all of your personal grooming items and other sundries common to the private soldiers life. Comes with 3 blanket straps attached. (BLANKETS NOT INCLUDED) Made in Tennessee.

NASHVILLE ARMORY MUSKET CAPS
Nashville Armory musket caps? That's right. One of the first successful musket cap companies to supply the Confederacy. Turning out unbelievable numbers of musket caps until Feb. of 1862. Here's a little bit of her history.
Mrs. Irby Morgan's book, "HOW IT WAS", published in 1892 states the following. "Mr. Morgan (her husband) brought two of the first perfect caps home and requested me to keep them as souvenirs of the war". The caps that were used at Manasas and Bull Run were made in our cap factory from material that my husband bought. Later on page 16 she mentions that while she and her husband attened a talk given by Gen. Beauregard at the Nashville Masonic Hall, they spoke with the Gen. regarding tha battle of Manasas and informed him that Nashville made the caps that fought those battles.
In the book "ENTREPOT" page 51 and 52 states,
Lt. Moses H. Wright was the 1st Lt. of Artillery Ordanace service, at the factory, later control of the state arsenal at Nashville was transferred to Capt. K. Johns and Wright assumed command of the works. In the month of Oct. of 1861 alone Nashville was able to produce 4,500,000 musket caps.
We do not have any idea of how thes Nashville musket caps were packaged or if they even had a label but I am not willing to let this piece of history be forgotten. So if our little tin of caps serves as nothing more than a reminder of that short lived armory - so be it, but now we have you thinking about it don't we.

NEW MUSKET WORM
Well I'm sure some of you have noticed that the supply of musket worms has been unreliable at best lately. That really bugs me. Why can't we get a good quality worm/wiper that looks like the originals? Rather than just crying about I decided to see what I could come up with and here it is.
Is it an exact copy of one of the original styles - no, not really, it's close but it is a better tool and it will do the job. It can get you out of real pinch when you lost your swab down the barrel and your Sgt. is screaming "Fall In". Did I mention that these are cheaper than the piss poor worms currently on the market? Well they are. It fits easily in your cartridge box's pouch, it works in a .58 or 54 cal. bore. It screws right on your Armisport ramrod. Made from spring steel so you will have a really hard time messing it up. I think you will be happy with this one.

COMPARE TO THE ORIGINALS
ENGLISH ARMY SURPLUS
WHITE WOOL BLANKET
 
During the war, the Confederate government faced chronic shortages of clothing and bedding and relied heavily on imported goods. Orders were filled using existing stocks of wool blankets, including commercial goods and surplus originally produced from companies like Benjamin Gott & Sons of Yorkshire, England for British military use. As a result, blankets reaching Confederate hands were not always newly made. Many had been manufactured years earlier, held in warehouses, or released from surplus before being sold through British exporters and shipped via neutral ports. Many such blankets found their way into Confederate supply lines particularly through blockade runners. Contemporary records show that British blankets of varying ages, weights, and markings were issued side by side, reflecting the realities of wartime supply rather than standardized production. The British military stamped their property in the 18th and early 19th centuries with the broad arrow and “G.R.” “GR” stands for Georgius Rex (Latin for ‘King George’) Surviving examples are from earlier wars (Revolutionary War / War of 1812) and so on.
Great care was taken to make sure these stamps were exactly as the blockade run imports as ours were cut from detailed photos from the originals.
So many were shipped into the CS by Blockade Runners that if you check the surviving manifest of those ships they list blankets not as individual blankets but by how many BALES of blankets were loaded. The standard cotton bale weighted 500 lbs. if that gives you any idea of just how many blankets were brought in. And yes damn near every manifest list blankets as part of their cargo.
Check out the book "ENTREPOT" which contains hundreds of blockade runner manifest, it's a real eye opener.
These blankets are 66 inches by 90 inches and made from 80% wool just as the old American made Woolrich blankets were. The edge is stitched all around with a heavy red thread.

DID THE ARMY OF TENNESSEE
USE ENGLISH SURPLUS BLANKES?
Sgt. Washington Ives of the 4th Florida Inf. was a newspaper man before the war. He worked as a clerk on the Col.'s staff during the war and ended his service as the Reg. Quartermaster.
In a letter to his father dated Nov. 11, 1863, Near Chickamauga Tenn. He discribes a recent issue of goods by the army. Here's what wrote; "The caps and underwear are miserable but quantities of English Blankets have been issued."
SUMMER NAVY JUMPER
Well here we are again. After several hundred hours of research and development (Me driving everyone crazy) we have had our Eureka moment. We are happy to say that we can now offer you the best Navy jumper, trousers, undershirts and shoes available to date.
Here's how our process started. We bought the best Navy uniform we could find. Pants and jumper from the National Civil War Navy Museum, Columbus Georgia. Then after studying hundreds of original period photographs and annoying museum curators across the country we made the needed alterations to give you the most commonly seen enlisted navy uniform that you would find in any port during the time period.
Our jumper (blouse) is made from 100% Cotton canvas duck matching the weight of the originals so you can wear your whites even in the hottest weather. All of our jumpers come with a pocket over the left breast you can drop you lanyarded knife or marlin spike right in while working in the rigging. Hand stitched where appropriate.
Comfortable? You bet! Authentic? The best! You will not be disappointed.
How to size your jumper. Just order your normal size as you would a T shirt. Small, medium, large et c.

NAVY UNDERSHIRT FLANNEL
"From 1849 through 1854 undershirts were required in blue flannel, 'twilled and wool-dyed' During the Civil War years 35,000 'Blue woollen knit undershirts' were needed in 1863 alone, and further 16,000 in 1864. As with blue overshirts, many sailors decorated their undershirt with elaborate embroidery or 'mother of pearl' buttons." (BLUEJACKETS)
"Proposals from the contractors for the supply of 'Blue Flannel under Shirts' were first officially invited in 1844, and request for this garment in various types of cloth were repeated almost every year until 1864" (BLUEJACKETS)
Well gentlemen, you no longer have to wear a modern T shirt or a Henly under your jumper to make the neck line look correct. After many attempts of "sew it together - cut it appart and do it again." We have accomplished that which no other has obtained. A correct mid 19th century Navy Undershirt! And we did it all for you.
Now if you have done any research on this garment you know there are many slight variation when it comes to cut and material.
Now the top photo left is a shot of Jack wearing our flannel undershirt untucked to give you a good look at it. Then Jack has it tucked in as one would before putting on your jumper.
Then you have a photo of an original Navy flannel undershirt courtesy of the Horse Soldier, Gettysburg Pa. This one has some embroidery on it making the seams stand out. Ours is cut with the yoke pattern as well it's just hard to see the seam, blue on blue and all.
And lastly a period photo of a sailor on deck wearing his undershirt while enjoying a game of checkers.

SANITARY COMMISION BAG
The U.S. Sanitary Commision was the for-runner to the USO. Their mission was to give aid and comfort to the soldiers any way they could. A few quilts made by the S.C. still survive. Feeding the soldiers was done at every opportunity.
Our little "gift bag" is an attempt to, in some small way recreate that patriotism felt by civilian ladies during war time. It consist of a hand sewn 10 x 8 inch muslin ration bag with the S.A. stamp. This stamp was taken directly from on of those surviving quilts. 2 cedar pencils, 1 wooden handled tooth brush. 1 tin for your tooth powder. Tooth powder not included and 1 full size bar of lye soap. Unscented, mild and of very good quality. Sure to bring a smile to any recruit.

PRIVATE PURCHASE
LOW QUARTERS
I remember how surprised I was when I came to the realization that so many officers and men were wearing private purchase foot wear. Not brogans! When you put those photos under a magnifying glass they're actually pretty easy to spot. Most officers who are not wearing boots, quite a few of the rank and file as well as sailors. A good example would be James Wick's shoes, a sailor aboard the C.S.S. Hunley, those are private purchase.
We thought you derserved a great pair of shoes as well. Just look at the quality of those shoes. Top notch material (all leather) and the craftsmanship is outstanding. Those are some very well made shoes.
Comfort, did I mention comfort? They are so well formed for the modern foot. You'll want to wear them all the time. They come with the proper black cotton waxed cord laces, very fashionable back in the day.
They're perfect for civillian wear too!
If you work in a historic home notice there are no heel plates to scratch up the hardwood floor.

Well there is just so long you can sit back and shoot at that prize. At some point you are going to have to board her. When that time comes there is not much sweeter than a good Boarding Pike. When you close quarters that new six shooter is going to empty pretty fast and you really have to get up close and personal to use that hatchet or saber. Give me a boarding pike any time! You're 6 feet away and it never runs out of ammunition.
We threw in a couple of photos of originals that are from the time period. As you can see there is quite a difference from one to the other.

Here's a few period references to having a straw fill mattress ticking.
John Spence's Diary, 1861 Murfreesboro Tenn. Page 13. Speaking of the local Soldiers Relief Society he says; "In a short time large quantities of clothing were made: sheets for bunks, ticks and straw to put in, stoves, kettles and pans.
Fannie Beers volunteered as a nurse during the Atlanta Campaign. She recalls, "Sick and awfully wounded men were hurriedly placed upon stretchers and their bearers formed an endless procession to the rough cars, some of them lately used to transport cattle and dreadfully filthy. Here they were placed upon straw mattresses.
February 1862. U.S. Sanitary Commission, Cincinnati Ohio branch publishes a pamplet on how to make a "bed ticking" that you can then donate to them - which they will then provide to the soldiers.
The Whaler Ocmulgee with a large sperm whale alongside, just captured , and being stripped of blubber and bone on the whaling-grounds of the Western Islands tell the "art of firing a ship" "so listen to the modus operandi First, you cut up with your broadaxe the cabin and forecastle bunks, generally of white pine lumber. You will find, doubtless, the mattresses stuffed with straw, and in the cabin pantry part as least of a keg of butter and lard. Make a foundation of the splinters and straw, pour on top the lard and butter. One pile in cabin, the other in forecastle. Get your men in the boats, all but the incendiaries, and at the given word-- 'Fire!' shove off, and take it as truth, that before you have reached your own ship, the blaze is licking the topsails of the doomed ship."
Two Years on the Alabama - Lieutenant Arthur Sinclair C.S.N.

MATTRESS & PILLOW
 
Get ready for one of the most comfortable nights sleep you have ever had shipboard or in the field. I am a hammock man, I sleep in one every night and often nap in one during the day. I have had no better night's sleep in my life than I have since I started using this mattress and pillow. Warm and comfortable without over heating. No more hammock chill butt! I sleep soundly all through the night and all of my patrons report the same. You will not be disappointed.
Works just as well on a cot too!
Our 1st rate mattress and pillows are made from 100% blue and white cotton ticking just as the originals were. Our standard length is 6 foot by a width of 2 foot with a 1 1/2 inch gussett all around. Then we over stuff it to measure about 3 inches thick. The pillow measures 12 by 10 inches and again about 3 inches thick. Rolls up easily and ties with string to make a small bundle for transport. I don't know how you could make a good nights sleep any easier than this.
Now some folks have questioned the size of our mattress thinking it a bit small. I admit that crossed my mind too, at first. Then I slept on one. I assure you for the average Joe this size is just about as perfect as you can get. However, if you disagree, we do offer custom mattress work. Inquiries are welcome.

CANVAS HAMMOCK
 
A good quality, heavy duty canvas hammock can be hard to find. So we thought we had better hunt one down ourselves. This is the same hammock that I sleep in every night and have been for years. Mine is right next to a standard bed with a mattress that I paid $2000.00 for. (yeah I know, I can't believe I did that either.) I prefer the hammock hands down!
The hammock, not counting the ropes is a little over 7 ft. long and about 3 foot wide. If you are hanging it outside your going to need a couple of post or trees about 10 ft. apart or just use the standard metal hammock stand.

ROASTING FORK, POT HOOK & HOLDER
 
There's nothing more satisfying after a succefull hunt than slicing that prime cut of meat and roasting it over an open fire. The photo above is a good example of what I consider a successful hunt.
This light weight versitile piece of equipment is without a doubt the most clever piece of cooking gear you will ever own. Light weight? Only 2 lbs.! But strong and sturdy. Use the fork end for roasting over an open fire. Flip it around and the hook will hold any small to medium size pot. Just slide the arm forward or back to adjust the temp. to that just right spot. Made from 3/8 inch solid iron rod, the 24 inch long upright just sticks into the ground to any height you desire. Then just slip the 24 inch long arm into the top hooks to hold it fast in place. Disasembles to lay flat when packing your gear. You will not be disappointed.

Of course this style is ancient in northern Europe with wide spread use thoughout the continent. It is so cool I would use any excuse to buy one.

FLAGS OF THE CONFEDERACY
Did you know?
Though never officially adopted by the Confederate House or Senate, the Bonnie Blue Flag was the first flag to represent the Confederate states as a unifed group.
The first national flag was never officially adopted but it was first flown on March 4, 1861, the day Abe Lincoln was sworn into office.
The Second National flag was first used to drape the coffin of beloved Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson. Because it appeared on the $100.00 bill as did Gen. Jackson it became known as the Jackson flag.
These are just a few of the fun and interesting facts you will learn from this handy little book. With this book in hand you can put an end to just about any flag argument.

This is not the old crate we used to steal from behind the grocery store to put our albums in. This is made for the field. Tuff is not the word for them, they are over engineered, nailed and glued to last for years but they only weight 10 lbs.! Leave them plain, paint or stain them. You can see in the photo above I've added a rope and handles to mine so two can share the load easily. When you're carrying 40 lbs. of ice for 1/2 a mile a little help goes a long way.

HANDBOOK OF CONFEDERATE SWORDS
In my opinion, if you are only going to own one reference book on Confederate swords this is the one to have. As far as I'm concerned Albaugh is the be all end all of CS sabers. It's the one I reach for anytime I have a question.
