Hi all! I just acquired an antique (pre-1900) horn that has most of the old silver plating gone. Looks pretty bad and I figure the raw brass will look better....
TO REMOVE THE SILVER PLATE MAY BRING THE VALUE OF YOUR HORN ROCK BOTTOM LOW. THINK ABOUT GETTING IT APPRAISED, IF YOU STILL CHOOSE TO REMOVE THE REST OF THE...
... <snip> Thanks. As further info: actually, I bought it for just over $20.00 on EBay - with postage it came to about $52.00, so the value isn't going to be...

Hi all! A while back I was on a business meeting in the small town of Danbury, NC at their library. Imagine my shock and awe to see most of a set of...
I remember hearing a few years back that the field music was supposed to play waltzes during inspection... but I can't find the reference to it in any of the...
Who leads? The inspector? In Virginia did they do a reel instead? Seriously though, they might have been thinking about this: "The inspection of troops, not...

I would argue NO MUSIC during weapons inspection. One of the steps in inspecting arms is 'pinging' the ramrods off of the back of the breech to 'hear' if it's...
"I would argue NO MUSIC during weapons inspection." Like many issues, this was probably something that varied from unit to unit, depending on the commanding...
Good point Joe. Tort lawyers today for reenactor safety issues would be a lot tougher than those from 1861 in a Military setting. I can just see the headlines...
Beautiful citation, thank you! Honestly, we've not had any problems playing during weapons inspection. Nor have we had complaints from the officers or men....
Now this I'll buy...... away from the troops softly music wafting over the bored troops My problem would be a Field Music to the right of the battalion.....at...
The field music should not play during inspection. They should be spread throughout their individual companies. For our 80 man battalions, Paul Semmes' ...
Okay, fair enough. In the reenacting world, however, inspection takes place after a dress parade formation, where the music is massed. When they call for...
You've lost me on this one Joe...... Reenacting Weapons Inspections are usually held as a part of PARADE, not Sunday Morning Knapsack Inspection. For PARADE,...
I would argue NO MUSIC during weapons inspection In a Guard Mounting there *is* music during the inspection. Bruce and Emmett does not mention it (maybe it is...

I wasn't referring to how reenactors do it. The question was how it was done back then. I mentioned the different types of inspections (including guard ...

You're arguing with the regulations, RJ, just like saying knapsack inspection is separate. It's not. That's reenactor think. Read the Regs, young Skywalker....
