    Re: Authentic Script?

    The single best repro cash in the hobby today is made by Richard Sullivan of the Lazy Jacks. You can reach him through Patrick Reardon - "Tarheel" on this board. We never go to an event with the LJ's without some superb script - BGR being no exception, with Bank of Shreveport notes.

      Re: Authentic Script?

      I've starting working in photoshop to reproduce varying C.S. currency...I have some fair images cleaned up now, but I am in need of some dimensions. I know that varying bills differed in size, as I have an 1862 $0.50 note from Richmond, VA that measures about 2.5in x 4.5in, while a friend of mine has an 1862 $1.00 nore from Richmond that measures about 3in x 7 in.

      Thanks for the help,

        This is some fractional US currency I have made for when me and my messmates are playing cards, etc. in static camps.



        This is some more TMD specific currency, the top one is a Citizens State Bank note from Louisiana that has been repro'd off of an uncirculated one in my collection. The bottom one is a State of Louisiana bank note that has been printed on the reverse of obsolete Arkansas notes which I have found to be a common practice of the time especially in Texas and Louisiana.

        [HOUSTON] TRI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, October 28, 1863,

        Wanted.

        All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.
