Tim,

I personally do not use a carbine at the re-enactments themselves, but usually have one available from one of our members for living history purposes. Very rarely from my Civil War and Indian Wars re-enacting experiences are actual historical antiques used for re-enacting purposes, most everyone uses authentic reproductions (besides, many think if the item looks old then it is more appropriate, however if you think about it, soldiers back then did not have carbines, etc. that looked over a hundred years old). Keeping the antiques safe at home and the reproductions in the field for living history purposes and to get wear and tear is the way to go.

I own one of the Cimarron 73 Colt reproductions and love it! It is one of my favorite re-enactment items actually! They did a very excellent job at replicating them, down to the cartouches and everything as you mentioned. They are a little more expensive with the exact markings, but I thought it was worth it. I paid almost $600 for mine. Many IW re-enactors on a tighter budget choose to use some of the Civil War firearms instead of the 73 Colt altogether. This is acceptable as some of the troops were still only armed with these leftovers.

Please see the specific web address below of my web site to learn a little more about enlisted men's uniforms at the LBH:

Or, off of our main page (7thCavalry.info) you can link to a couple other sites concerning IW era weapons. Glad you liked the site!
