I've noticed many reenactors use a mix of repro and original gear that looks fairly new or is mint. I was wondering if using a mix of "used" original gear and aged reproductions is acceptable among reenactors. (Used imo meaning pretty worn down, almost salty gear) Honestly, I feel that having gear that has a fair amount of wear looks a little more authentic. What do you fellas think? I'm considering joining a unit near by and any input would be great.
Thanks
