M24 Chaffee Posted May 14, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2018 Ive been looking into putting together a small Revolutionary War display to go along with my WWII and Civil War collection. I found a few items to realize my idea. The musket ball display is described in the Riker box they came in. The 2 buttons - on the left, a USA Continental Army enlisted mans button, on the right, a British 71st Regiment of Foot, Frasers Highlanders button. I added a W. Britains Continental Army soldier and a 71st Highlander soldier to round out the display. Ive been getting back to reading and discovering more of the history of that conflict and I enjoy having a few articles that were there. I live near many of the important battlefields. Ill include a better photo (from the sellers website) of the USA buttons front and back. I hope to see more Rev War items from other collectors in this forum. Dunmore1774 just posted his fine musket!

Adg105200 Posted May 14, 2018 Share #3 Posted May 14, 2018 Nice little display! I've always wanted to make small displays for both revolutionary and Civil war to go next to my WW2 collection. Some day when I get the extra money,bi would like to get a Brown Bess and a M1860 rifle for the displays. Well done. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted May 14, 2018 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2018 Great display. I especially like the buttons. I can appreciate the historic nature of the musket balls, but buttons have more of an eye appeal. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
