I specialize in the manufacturing of uniforms and accoutrement of
the British soldier during the long reign of Queen Victoria as well
as original and replica items for the Martini Henry rifle. The articles
I provide are broken down by the following campaigns:
• The Crimean and the Indian Mutiny- 1850s-1860s
• The Anglo-Zulu Campaign- 1879
• The Egyptian Campaign- 1882-1884
• The Soudan Campaign- 1884-1898
• The Second Anglo Boer War- 1899-1902
Many items will also do nicely for other campaigns and the various
little wars in India and the Northwest Frontier.
Most items are for the “Other Ranks”, with a few items for Officer’s
and are for Foreign Service.
I also have various bits and pieces too numerous to list. Glengarry
badges, collar dogs, shoulder titles, button sticks, kit bag locks,
buttons, etc. Give me a shout if you don’t see something listed.
Custom orders are welcomed, e-mail me with your needs. Keep in
mind that uniform items are made to measure and do take some
time for delivery.
I am able to accept credit cards through Google Checkout.
International orders are welcomed.
One of a kind and original items are auctioned on eBay under the
Seller’s ID: the_rqm.
“Quartermaster’s List” - a new online magazine devoted to the
British Victorian military history buff.
A note about leather:
I have done my best to obtain a healthy supply of leather as
historically accurate as possible. True buff leather is not available
in the U.S. and is expensive to import in any quantity. Most leather
accoutrement are have a very similar texture as buff. In my sample
photos you will see various finishes of leather and I will note in
item descriptions when polished or “finished” leather is used. I
hope to use “buff” in most future items.
Effective Immediately!
When possible all items will be stamped with appropriate
Board of Ordinance or War Department stamps!
New Martini Henry/Snider Blanks: Based on the blanks used by
the 78th Highlanders of the Citadel, Halifax, Nova Scotia. These
are based on a plastic shotgun shell and are disposable at $1.00
each.
New kits to update pith helmets coming soon! The kit will include
the paper label seen in many original helmets and the "wagon
wheel" retaining lug. UPDATE: Label is done, waiting for the
"wheels".
This just in by heliograph! The brass retainer "wheel"
prototype casting finally in! Looks good.
New pattern Boer War Bandoleer!
