Is there a web address to purchase re-enactor uniforms and equipment for the first republic

[Koroniarz]

There is a limited number of re-enactors of the period. One of the popular tailors does not posses a website. Another (more expensive, although IMHO, a better one) is available here: http://styl.elo.pl/

Please let me know, whether you need anything specific, and perhaps, we'll be able to provide some suggestions or advice.

Koroniarz, Thank you for your assistance on uniforms. Is there soemwhere where patterns are available that I could make a uniform from the 1794 era?

[Koroniarz]

Not in form of tailor patterns. You may however find pictures and descriptions. E.g. here: http://arsenal.org.pl/kaw...-1791-1794.html

Thanks Very much!

Gentlemen:

I'm working on a book on the Polish Armies of the Partitions 1772-1794. I was wondering if any re-enactors would like to send me photos of them in their uniforms of the period for inclusion in addition to the contemporary drawings I am including. If I end up using your photo I would be happy to send you a copy of the book when it is published.

Many thanks

Please see the photos at our Digital gallery. You'll find the 10th Dzialynski's Infantry Regiment, the National Cavalry and the Lithuanian regiments. Please let me know if you need any in full resolution. Please keep in mind however, that the number of groups that re-enact the period is extremely limited, therefore some of the uniform are from the later period.

All the best!

[Vrospond]

Many thanks again!

Hi!
You may find the photos we made during our club's shooting jamboree earlier this year useful. Please note however, they were not made with presenting an absolute historical accuracy in mind. Some of the shots were made with the purpose of being used in some kind of club propaganda publications.
The green uniform is of the Regiment fizylierów company rifles (sharpshooters), also the 15th Regiment's sharpshooters/light infantry might have worn exactly the same colours, the difference being in the buttons bearing regimental numbers. The headgear differentiated the uniform from the pictures from those of the Crown Artillery Corps one, apart from the buttons again. The boots obviously belong to a different era, they might pass as a substitute for small resolution illustration purposes, though . The Mle 1777 replica musket from the pictures is a bit out of place, the hunting flintlock rifle is a tad longer and considerably less robust than the "sztucer kozienicki" - a regulation firearm of the I RP rifle companies - but I have to make do with them for the time being. As far as I know, there is one, maybe two modern copies of the "Kozienice rifle" in existence apart from the single surviving original.

At the bottom of the page you'll find the link to the club member's gallery.
Other pictures at the lksh.org may be of some use for you, although those are less "re-enactmentlike" - the uniform is adopted as our "parade uniform" and not worn during re-enacting.
