Brazos John Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I've got a cavalry LeMat, with the spur trigger guard. I want to wear it in reenactments, but I can't find old photos of one being worn. I don't have a holster yet, because I haven't decided how to wear it. If my saber is on the left side, I guess the LeMat will go on the right side. Should it be butt-forward or butt to the rear? Flapped holster or no flap? I know it's my choice, but I'm looking for historical evidence of how they did it back then. Any ideas based on history?

Buck of Coon Creek Old West had this one made for me years ago based on the photo of J.E.B. Stuart's rig. See photos. Scout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazos John Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Thanks, y'all. Lots of good info, and things for me to consider. I knew I would get some good replies here. Keep your powder dry. Brazos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazos John Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Howdy, Scout, I bought some things from Buck years ago, when he came down to Trailhead. I wish I had bought more, but I got a saber belt with buckle and hangers, an IW blouse, and a blue Dances with Wolves vest, and ran out of money. He sure knew history. Thanks for the details, and you're looking quite sharp as you escort that sweet, young thing. See you down the trail, Brazos John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you down the trail, Brazos John I believe you can still get items from Buck and Leta they just retired from traveling and setting up tents, etc. their web site is still active and if you call and talk to Buck I bet he can get an appropriate holster made for you. Leta made the uniform for me and Buck got the belt, holster, saber hanger and cap box made for me. I had Colorado Hat Company make the hat and I purchased the boots locally. The photo was taken at EOT in 2008 when I was waiting my turn to go before the costume judges and that lady was I believe the wrangler for those waiting. That year I won the best military costume award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
