    Yaegers

    When did the production of the Yaeger type rifles end? We know they dated back to the mid 17th century. They may have been used in the F&I War. We know that the plain no non-sense Yeagers were carried by the Hessians during the ARW. That would put them up to the late 18th century. Are they found...

    Leather Shirt?

    I won a very nice, and I would say expensive shirt at a shoot. The problem is that it has shoe string laces from the arm pits to the bottom of the shirt. I doubt this is from the 1800 to 1820 period. I think it maybe more 1870s. I am thinking about sewing the slits up and covering the holes...
