I just meant, I've seen plenty of state or 'c.s.' initials, but I never saw one with 'C.S.A.'

Doesn't mean I'm doubting Millanders historical accuracy, I just never saw one before.

ad well the belt isnt leather its painted cloth. During the war, there were leather shortages all across the south, so painted cloth was used in several cases. I've even read about canvas shoes and accoutrements being used, due to lack of leather

Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

At first glance I thought you were wearing a wristwatch.

Lol, clean it. Dordak gave me good 40 minute of rant and evidence of men keeping weapon spotless through the war.

Yeah that's what happens when you buy a bayonet from your companies loaner gear. Seance the season is about over I can get material to clean everything up.

I've seen a lot of pointless posts on this section of the forum (Not a small part of those by *ahem* yours sincerely), but this one takes the cake.
