42nd F&I War Weapons

[Steve Ashton]

As your a newbie perhaps I can share a little about X Marks that can help you.

X Marks is a kilt forum. Ever since day one we have voluntarily limited ourselves to everything there is to know about this specific topic. Over the years we have found this to be our greatest strength and draw.

Most of our members would be far more interested in why you would choose to be so specific in the description of the weapons of your outfit and yet be so vague, or what would be strange to our eyes, about the Tartan and the kilt made from it.

Yes, we do have a section of the forum for weapons and one for historical styles of dress. But to us these are looked at as accompaniments or accessories to our kilts.

This concept of keeping our focus on the kilt may be strange to some new members and perhaps not readily apparent to others. This is why I am pointing it out.

There are many good forums out there which may be able to give you a far better answer to this specific question of the correct weapon for your outfit. Have you searched out those other sources of information?

If you want to know the correct Tartan for this unit, at the time period you have chosen, if you want to know the specific details of how a kilt from this period was made and worn we are the single best place for that type of information.

Giving you help with this question, - - Well, maybe not the topic we are as good with.
I guess what I am trying to get across is that there is a lot of good information out there. Don't limit yourself to one source and don't expect a forum dedicated to the kilt to have all the information you need to build your outfit just because your outfit has a kilt in in it.
