I got pulled back into reenacting after a 20 year hiatus by my son. As my first season has moved on, I have tried to improve my impression one piece at a time. Currently I'm working on my leather pieces. We represent the 3rd Kentucky, which gets tricky since they left the orphan brigade and fell in under forest. Any way my question lies wether they were issued cartridge boxes and cap boxes from the Atlanta Arsenal or Oil Cloth from Columbus Depot? We know due to their Orphan status they heavily relied on the Nashville Depot and then Columbus Depot due to their Orphan status. I can find uniform research but have been unsuccessful with leathers.
Thank you for any help.
