In reply to T.Castor: Well, I was waiting on that question. After the grand, and very kind remarks from Rich, this is a tad awkward, but this entire outfit is probably somewhat iffy as far as being hardcore historically correct for the 18th c. Much would depend on ones personal outlook on the matter. It was inspired by a similar set offered by Daniel Winkler, and Karen Shook some years back. The ball grip knives were quite common all through the 18th c., but I think this outfit would have to be classified as somewhat of an 18th c. fantasy rig, although as far as I know, there is nothing present that could be considered as totally out of place, and all the features of this set can be found on original relics. Perhaps, just not all together at once, but there are so few surviving relics of this nature, that the door is sort of left open for artistic speculation. Although this set differs in some details from Daniel Winklers set, I have to give him, and Karen Shook, credit for the basic appearance of it.
