Each pouch is a faithful copy of its original counterpart right down to the makers marks. Our in house graphic design team has painstaking recreated each makers mark in great detail. We make unmarked as well as marked cap pouches. If you prefer unmarked, just let us know. If you are representing particular theaters of operations and would enjoy copies of specific makers productions, I have listed separately those that we reproduce. These are museum quality pouches suitable for use in reenacting, museum exhibition and for collectors of a dying art form. I have made and collected cartridge boxes and cap boxes since 1972.

C. S. Arsenal Baton Rouge Cap Boxes
At the time Louisiana seceded from the Union on January 26, 1861, the United States Arsenal at Baton Rouge had been in the hands of state forces just over two weeks. By the Spring of 1861 the arsenal was under control of the Confederate government. Richard Lambert, Military Store Keeper, was in command and was assisted by Capt. J. C. Booth.
Through the spring and fall of 1861 Lambert and Booth purchased about 3,000 sets of Accoutrements from the New Orleans firm of Magee, Horter & George. With an eye towards augmenting these supplies, Lambert, in May and June of 1861 purchased 76 sides of bridle leather as well as sixteen saddlers stitching horses. The C. S. Arsenal likely remained in operation until the fall of Baton Rouge on May 28, 1862. During its brief operation it supplied ordnance stores and ammunition to Confederate troops at Pensacola, Florida. In addition distinctive sets of accoutrements were produced utilizing a waist belt with a fork tongue frame buckle.
