Great video. Your right about the myth of the bayonet being banded . However wearing the cartridge box on the belt was not a late war style. A cartridge box sling was issued during the late war but with out the beast plate. Wearing the box on the belt was probably done for not being issued one or using it for something else. A fully loaded box with 40 rds live ammo would weigh approximately 5 lbs and would made wearing it on the waist uncomfortable without the support of the sling. 🤔
Good video. Y’all keep it up
Love the uniform! I know it costed a pretty penny, that's for sure.
Civilian shirts are definitely over-represented in the hobby.
I think it's just because they look nice

Greetings from the 15th iowa
Hi lads the rebels were issued shirts they got white shirts with a 2 button half front slit and 2 breast pockets
That was one style. There were several.
Exactly the Confederate army had several shirts that were issued to them during the war

By the cw the eagle buttons with letters were for officers
Some units would sand the enfields down so they were in the bright (bare metal) as per regulation
Great video! I'm curious who made the Hardee hat?
Dirty Billy's Hats made the Hardee featured in this video!
Canteens had fabric on them so it could cool the water as they would dip it in water and evaporation would cool it
Great video guys! If I may ask, which depot is the canteen from?
I believe Philadelphia depot
