The Union Kit is perfect for those looking to enter the realm of Civil War re-enactment. It starts off simple with a solid copper cup that has “U.S.” engraved upon it, a good prop that works with warm soup or cold beverages. This is followed by the 1860 Light Cavalry Union Saber. Forged of high carbon steel this blade makes a fine decoration with its detailed acid etchings but will also serve on the battlefield. Bringing things together is the Union leather sword belt making it easy to have your sword at the ready at all times.

 The next set, complimentary to the former, is the Confederate Kit. This features similar items to the Union Kit but designated for soldiers of the Confederacy including is a solid copper mug engraved with “C.S.”. Next up is the Confederate Cavalry Officer's Saber. Also hand-forged of 1095 high carbon steel the blade is distinguished by acid etchings reading C.S.A. Bringing everything together is the leather Confederate sword belt with a large CS featured on the belt face.

This box will have you ready for a life on the high seas starting with a signature pirate look, the leather eye patch. Instantly go from baby faced rube to hardened sea dog! Given the perils of the profession you wouldn’t be much of a pirate without a proper blade. Take up the Pirate Captain's Hanger and prepare to defend your plunder!

Looking for cooler climes than a pirate’s life tends to offer? The Viking Explorer kit will point you in the direction of ice flows and frost giants. This collection starts with a leather coin pouch complete with replica Viking coins to help you keep your packs full. Perhaps you could part with some coin to fill the Carved Viking Dragon Drinking Horn that also comes included. This genuine horn has been carved by hand ensuring that you stand out in the Mead Hall.
