These are, of course, blanks that are fairly simple to make once you get the hang of it, being simply a rolled tube of paper filled with about 50-60 grains of powder, Any experienced member will be glad to show you how to do this. For those with limitless cash at events, you can trot off to sutler row to purchase packs of pre-rolled cartridges enclosed in period wrappers. We fire anywhere from 20-30 rounds at living history events,and 60 to 100 rounds at battle reenactments. Best to roll enough for a season at once.
Authentic reproductions are easily available from mail order companies or directly from sutlers.
Linen suspenders with leather ends. Depending on your trouser style you may need single or double loops. This may seem like a trivial item, but the more authentic versions are worth the investment.
