Same as Napoleonic, 85th French Line.
And 1916 mid 1916 to be exact.

Nice, I would like to have enough money to get a WW1 uniform.

I'm in the 18e line and in the "Bataillon Uni" as a skirmisher maybe we will march together to the ennemy

I'm sure it's been posted before but furniture can be made depending on the style and skill with woodworking tools (I have made many a bench and chest from scrap lumber), and always check Goodwills/Thrift Stores/Pawn Shops and most definitely Garage sales for any clothes, shoes, knicknacks, haversack stuffers or unique item.

Also, a lot of these things pricey items like soaps, tobacco pipes, waterproof tar cloth, and etc. where sutlers and merchants have the markets cornered can be made at home in large batches!

Nothing looks better than a "home-made" look than a foreign copy. If you can help it ofcourse.

went to a firearms expo today, focused on historical arms and militaria, had lots of lovely stuff, but i forgot my wallet at home :P

an item that caught my attention though was an original SS overseas cap, with the deaths head insignia sewn onto the front, so it belonged to someone in the deaths head part of the SS. $125 AU.
