Presenting one key item of equipment for warfare in the eighteenth century: our gibernes (cartridge pouch for you Anglo types), supplied by Historical Military Accoutrement Reproductions.

Ours conform to the 1767 Reglemente (Warrant) – more on this soon! – and have space for at least 30 cartouches (cartridges) inside and on top of the internal wooden block. They’ll also eventually have a small regimental plate, and four grenades to designate these as grenadier gibernes.
