TIN004	Matchcase 1743-1768 The brass matchcase served to hold a smoldering match cord when it was being used to ignite grenades. When grenades became obsolete, the matchcase remained on the belts of the grenadiers as an ornament. Based on two originals uncovered at the Fortress Louisbourg, the matchcase is made from brass and is handcrafted by our tinsmith to the proper dimensions. It is completed with a hand-turned to hardwood plug. Matchcase...........$75.00US ($95.00CAN) Image of Matchcase
HAT008	British Mitre Cap 1743-1763 Considerable research went into the designing of this item. A number of original mitre caps were examined to come up with the most accurate representation of this significant item to date. Materials consist of custom dyed wools of the proper weight and weave, woolen tape trimmings with regimental worm, natural flax linen from Ireland, and heavy felted Icelandic yarn for the woolen tassel. Each mitre cap is hand sewn and constructed in every detail to match that of the originals, and is custom-made to the your head size. This item is perfect for the study or office of any military collector or historian. Presently mitre caps for the 40th and 60th are available. However if there is a particular regiment you are looking for please do not hesitate to enquire. HAT008 Mitre Cap......$295.00US ($435.00CAN) each Image of Mitre Cap (8K)
