.......just posing this to gauge others feelings. There doesn't seem to be any issues with using firearms from another century. Some use original web belts or other accoutrements in their portrayals. In putting together an outfit for possible future pre WW1 EEM matches. I found a trouser belt and brass buckle my father had saved back from his WW2 service. Knowing my Dad, he'd say use it. No more use than it will see, I will. Just wondering how members of the group feel about things with personal connections? From looking at belt buckles, based on appearance it seems the basic buckle hasn't changed much from the last century or so.
