    Need Stuff to Get Started

    viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13141&p=51174#p51174

    Six months later and I looking to make this Fall's nationals my first skirmish. In the mean time, I am trying to track down the equipment I will need. I know there will be good Sutler's at nationals but I am hoping to find some good deals on used stuff maybe someone has lying around...

    So, looking for quality used...
    Gray Kepi
    Cartridge Box
    CS Belt Buckle
    Cartridge Belt
    Bayonet
    Other entry level items

    I don't need the greatest condition but something that isn't falling apart is appreciated. I would also like to see pictures if possible. PM or email me if you have anything in mind.

    Thanks for your help getting me into it.

    Try eBay under Civil War-Reenactment. You will have a loyt of looking to do, and some of their stuff is reasonable in both price and quality. Some junk as well, but read carefully and jump in.

    Pittguy,

    I have old leather gear and brass I used to use. Send me your email address so we can discuss getting together at the Fall Nationals if you are going.

    I will let you have some of that stuff for nothing. I don't want to go to the trouble of selling it, since it isn't worth much.

    Dave,
    Good man helping out a new member! I am sure most of us have "stuff" that could be used by new recruits. Perhaps we could start a "goodie dump" just for such purposes.

    David, thank you...sending you a PM with my email address. Thanks to all....

    A way of getting new recruits some gear would be a good idea, I can tell you that it is a little intimidating navigating all of the stuff out there.
