Actually, I think I had more Southern ancestors involved in the War than Northern ones and I agree with Todd that it's history and we're all on (or ought to be on) the same side now. I have the typical Northerner's view of the war and it's causes but it never occurs to me to think ill of Southerners the way some in the South view us Yankees. Of course, since my mother's father was born in Asheville, NC, that's probably natural

PS - BTW, Brian, I love the patch and noticed way down on the same page there are a couple masonic patches. The oval on might make an interesting kilt pin also. I wonder if they'd embroider a lodge number as well.

I recently ordered a black NCO waistbelt with 2 piece buckle from another large, fairly reputable suttler (to wear as a kilt belt). I say recent...it was nearly 2 months ago. They charged my card right away and said they'd get it made up and sent to me. A month later, I emailed back to ask how much longer it was going to be...at which time I received a response saying that they had experienced a delay in a leather shipment, but that they expected it in by the end of the week and would process orders ASAP. That was about 3 weeks ago...still nothing...and no status updates either. I'm not happy with that particular company right now. Maybe Fall creek can get me what I want.

Caledonia Fine Arts makes magnificent sets which come with sporran, belt, kit pin, Sgian Dubh, etc. I don't see it on their website, but at a Games I saw a USMC set and as I recal a US Army set.

Last Friday, I had added an irate phone call to my list of "to do" regarding my Civil War Era NCO waistbelt that I had ordered way back in Feb (mentioned previously) when I just happened to receive an email from UPS saying that the vendor had shipped a package.

It arrived today. Not happy with how long it took to get, but couldn't be happier with how it looks!!!
