brathair Report post Posted September 17, 2012 Hopefully one of you is a history buff or Reenactor. I am looking for any and all the information I can find on the uniform worn by Calvary officers at the turn of the century just prior to WWI. I am more particularly interested in the gun leather and sidearms that and officer would have carried at this point in time. Patterns, pictures, links etc. would all be helpful. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gary Report post Posted November 22, 2012 One Randy Steffan's books, 'The Horse Soldier' (I think they are called) series, should cover most of what you want. This is a link to Amazon UK but it gives the details. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Horse-Soldier-1776-1943-Spanish-American-Accoutrements/dp/0806114517/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1353575583&sr=8-9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatherquestions Report post Posted August 5, 2014 Go to: ushist.com quartermasterdepot.com ccsutlery.com quartermastershop.com sutlers.co.uk ushist.com is the best I think, but you can google "us cavalry uniforms (insert year)" and you will also find pictures. I've done a lot of research on cav leather for myself and other reenactors. Tip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TXAG Report post Posted August 5, 2014 ...and the word is "Cavalry"...not "calvary". May not seem like a big difference, but it is (completely different meanings) and those doing a search that spell it correctly will never see this thread with it spelled wrong.

gunter Report post Posted September 25, 2014 Lots of books around for that period in time, but you better check books on spanish american war. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
