SPECIAL SABER BELT



  Some of you may recall seeing this belt before. I thought we had sold them all but wonder of wonders I found another box in the warehouse. That really doesn't surprise me anymore. The Holy Grail may be in there somewhere or at least an old Monty Python cast member. But seriously folks, I've got about 20 of these and they really went fast the last time we offered them. As you can see the belt comes with an 1851 style Eagle plate and the brass saber snaps. They can be easily adjusted to any size waist. There is no Sam Brown strap.
  I have two sizes. One has a Maximum waist size of 50 inches. The other a Maximum waist size of 42 inches. As I stated above, these can be cut down to any size in a matter of minutes with nothing more than a sharp knife to cut the length and an awl or ice pick to punch a hole in the belt. They are a super deal too!

PLEATED WHITE COTTON SHIRT
STAND & FALL COLLAR



O.K., I messed up. I know, your surprised. We made up around 120 of these shirts before I realized the material had not been pre-washed. Bad for me, good for you. If your willing to do a little ironing that is. I've washed them all up and ironed them. But I have not ironed them to the point that they look brand new. You can do that though and save a bunch of $ in the process. This is normally a $40. shirt. I'm going to sell them to you at 1/2 price. I don't like to leave my mistakes laying around, they mock me when my back is turned, I know they do. So if you want a $40. shirt for $19.95 here's your chance!

  Now here is a fantastic shirt that is very hard to find. Reason being it's difficult to make but it's well worth the effort. You can see in the photo that the upper most button is not fastened. Sorry, I wanted to fasten it and put a cravat on for you but my necks a little too large, these shirts do fit normal people, honest. They are 100% cotton, very soft and ready to wear. 4 button front placket with a stand and fall collar and the button holes are hand sewn. The pleated front is very dressy. If your asking yourself, "I wonder if that shirt is really correct?" Here's where you can find it. Look through the old repro Frank Leslie or Harper's weekly papers. This shirt can often be found on the back in the advertisements. You could order them by mail from NYC at a cost of $10. for a dozen. I'm afraid the price has gone up a little since then but it's still a great shirt. I just can't imagine an officer or successful businessman not having at least one of these.

CONFEDERATE COPPER MESS PLATE



  Boy have we been working on this one a long time. I've been a digger here in middle Tennessee since 1983. Every so often I or one of my bud's would find one of these copper plates in the Confederate camps. Mostly along the Duck River line in and around Shelbyville. Remember the chapter in Sam Watkin's book "Co. Aytch", about him and the boys frying and eating the mussels they found in the Duck River? Well this is the plate they ate them off of.
  After doing a little research and showing my plate to other diggers around the country I found that they were more wide spread than I first imagined. There are samples of the same plate dug in Vicksburg Miss., Shelbyville Tenn. and surrounding camps, Franklin Tenn. and from Confederate camps used during Gen. Hood's ill fated battle of Nashville. Most are exactly alike but a few have slight variations. All are tin plated on the top but not the bottom. The similarities of all these plates suggest a single source. My best guess would be that they were all ran through the blockade. If they were made by a southern company the raw material would have had to have run the blockade first. Due to the extended time span these plates were used I opt for the Blockade Runner theory as southern manufacturers often had to move with the shifting lines. Relocating equipment often means lost or damaged dies and molds. Remaking molds and retooling (in my opinion) would have resulted in greater variations from one time period to the next.
  I have always thought this plate was a great relic and needed to be reproduced but I could never find that one person with all the expertise to make them. Not any more!

  Our plate is made here in the states one at a time. Hand spun on wooden molds just as the originals were. They are then tinned over a charcoal fire one at a time using the exact same process used in the 1860's. They measure 8 1/2 inches wide and approx. 1 inch deep.
  The plate in the photo top left is from my collection, I have another from the same Shelbyville camp but it's a little squished. The plate on the right is from Sanford Pott's award winning collection seen at major relic shows around the country. It too was dug in a camp near Shelbyville.

PISTOL FLASK

  Here's a great deal for anyone who owns a black powder pistol. I recently bought 200 pistol flask sight unseen. Not exactly the smartest thing I did that day. But hey, my loss is your gain. These are not our top quality flask. If you want the best flask you can buy then just go to our catalog on page 7. If you like a great deal on a flask then your in the right place.
  What's wrong with them?
  There not that bad, really. There just not top quality so I won't sell them as if they were. I don't like the way the spring re-acts when you open or close the spout. Since I really don't have time to replace 200 flask springs I'm just gonna pass them on to you bargain hunters. Worst case, you have to replace the spring before too long.
If you need an extra flask for your FFFF priming powder or you would like to keep your pistol's packing material (cream of wheat) in a more authentic container then these flask will work just fine.

BRASS BUCKLES

  Sorry that the photo is not as clear as it should be. These cast brass buckles are not the top quality buckles that we sell everyday. But with that being said I'll add that they aint that bad either. They have the traditional C.W. style back but they are easily converted to fit your everyday belt. Made from solid cast brass that will last a lifetime. But I saved the best for last, they are super cheap! $5.95 each for oval or rectangle buckles and $9.95 for tongue and wreath. It's hard to go wrong at that price.

Here's the line up; Top left tongue and wreath is a Ky. state seal.
