Twelve Apostles

Hello All

Wanted to see if anyone can recommend
a maker here in the U.S. that sells the
chargers,flask,bandolier? I have been
told about a site called Tattershall Arms
but any advice would be appreciated.

Rob

You may want to search the Pre-Flintlock forum. I don't go there often myself but I'm pretty sure I have seen this question and it answered there in the past for Matchlock shooters looking for them.

This thread may give you some ideas for a flask:

I think I've seen a maker of a bandolier, but I can't remember who it was.

Old Sutler John does make them (and reasonably well too), Check them out at the bottom of This Web Page you will see them. I own a set of his, and a set from the UK. The Sutler John ones are larger, but not comically so. I think they are a great option if you are looking for an American maker.

...and in the "whatever-it's-worth" column, the number of "Apostles" (call them what you will), varied widely. Mostly this was due to loss and usage but often was dependent on the actual bore of the musket. Though not a set rule, many musketeers seemed to go with the 12 for a 12 bore, 10 for a 10, etc. concept.

The period specification is always wood and yet the metal detectorists keep finding cast lead apostle caps. Of course the wooden ones rotted away but there are an awful lot of the other, I have about ten and I don't even collect the durned things :rotf:

Sorry to be late to this thread but I have an 11 Apostle one. Why 11, I don't know but Syke Sutler made it for me years ago and its just been hanging on the wall. It has one meant for priming powder. The leather can be dyed. Anybody care to make an offer? When I get dressed up I'm in US Civil War or cowboy clothes. When I shoot matchlocks or gonnes I'm just at the range.
