Wardlaw's Dragoones

[The Huntsman of Soest]

Hello all, a chap I know in my Saxon re-enactment group is flogging his 17th c stuff at a good price. I copy his e mail to me below, and if you need to get in touch with him do so via myself. The musket looks particularly good.


Hi Mike,

Got a few bits for sale and wondered if you or anyone in your company would be interested? You can see it all here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=171768&id=765527887&saved#!/album.php?aid=171768&id=765527887

I've based the prices on what everything costed me but with major deductions based on the philosophy that you rarely gets what you paid for it. Also, most, not all, have been worn or used, albeit very seldomly. So the Karl Robinson brass buckled baldric, which was £110 new, is now only £55, and the musket, fired only the once, originally £300 is now £250. The price list is below but I'm happy to take a lot less if bought as a job lot.

shoes £30
boots & spurs £160
hat £18
sword & scabbard £180
baldric £55
blue tunic £80
red tunic £40
doublet £40
shirt £20
trousers £40
over socks £15
musket £250

Total £928

Discount price if sold together £800

Hope you and your family are well.

Cheers,

Andy

Cheers for the link through. I notice some of the kit hass now been sold.

That sword is lovely - but perhaps a bit too posh for a mere Dragoone(?)

The musket is beautiful too, but £120 pounds more than the current musket fund total!
