Brass Powder Horn Spout Made to follow the British artillery and light companies design during the Rev War and War of 1812. This brass spout is manufactured with an iron spring. This is a copy of the original and does not have a “double baffle design” so it is only for “show” and it is highly recommended not to be used with real gun powder. |

Shoulder Belt Plates Shoulder belt plates are made from heavy brass sheet and can be custom engraved. I already have several artworks completed and can quickly engrave plates. The plates can be oval or rectangular and are normally convex unless otherwise stated. Two pins on the back mount the plate to the lower belt and a hook attaches to the upper belt to complete the connection. Prices vary from $40.00 for a simple design to $60.00 for the more complex design. The next few frames show examples of my work. |
