We are an online sutler we maintain a lower overhead as compared to the traditional sutler that either travels from site to site or has a brick and mortar store. We provide high quality civil war reenactors hard goods at much lower than normal prices since we do not maintain a huge inventory. Your orders typically take 3 to 6 weeks to arrive but the savings is well worth it. You ask why are the prices so much lower I will let you in on a little known secret sutlers have gotten out of control with prices in recent years they sometimes mark up prices as much as 400% ! It is time the reenactors receive a fair shake and that is our intent. There are 3 main suppliers of these goods no matter what your local sutler may tell you. We have been being had and it is time to stop!
