Because of our high standards of authenticity, such determinations must be made on a case by case basis. Much of what we use is specific to our impression. Some items may be used temporarily until the unit approved equivalent can be had.

Please note that just because something is approved (or has beeen approved in the past) by the Brigade of the American Revolution, it does not mean that the item is approved for use in our unit. One can view the BAR standards as the universal building code...we certainly should not do worse, but we should and can do better. In almost all cases, our unit's standards are higher than those adopted for the BAR as a whole.
