Atlanta Arsenal Sets & Individual
Pieces
The
Atlanta Arsenal in Atlanta, GA was a major
supplier
of materiel to the Confederate Army.
It produced both ammunition, accoutrements
and materiels. In 1863-64 the Atlanta Arsenal
employed nearly
5,500 men and women.
A
good western Confederate impression
should always contain a set of Atlanta
accoutrements
Atlanta Set Includes-The Cartridge Box,
Shoulder Belt, Cap Pouch,
Bayonet
Scabbard*, Waist Belt and Plate.

scabbards with this set. (Specify choice.)

a scabbard not unlike that made in Richmond
that had a lead ball in the tip. Remember,
hearsay isn't documentation.

that only sergeants were issued boxes with tool

C. S. Arsenal
Baton Rouge
At the time Louisiana seceded from the Union
on January
26, 1861, the United States Arsenal at Baton Rouge had been in the hands of state forces just over two weeks.
By the Spring of 1861 the arsenal was under control of the Confederate government.
Richard Lambert, Military Store Keeper, was in command and was assisted by Capt. J. C. Booth.
Through the spring and fall of 1861
Lambert and Booth purchased about 3,000 sets of Accoutrements from the New Orleans firm of Magee, Horter & George. With an eye towards augmenting these supplies, Lambert, in May and June of 1861 purchased
76 sides of bridle leather as well as sixteen saddlers stitching horses. The
C. S. Arsenal likely remained in operation until the fall of Baton
Rouge on May 28, 1862. (View copies of the original Magee, Horter & George
invoices by clicking on link at right.)
During
its brief operation it supplied ordnance stores and ammunition to Confederate troops at Pensacola, Florida. In addition distinctive sets of accoutrements were produced utilizing a waist belt
with a fork tongue frame buckle.

Baton Rouge Set
C. S. Arsenal Baton Rouge La. Arsenal
Set
is a copy of an original accouterment
set
consisting of Cartridge box, cap pouch,
and
waist belt with fork tongue frame buckle.
The
cartridge box has waist belt loops only.
This box was based on the measurements
for
the U.S. pattern of March 1857. Roughly
speaking,
a .58 caliber box that is about

inch short.

our
copies were viewed by the owners of
the
original and judged first rate. I was told
that Confederate made ammunition such as
the
.58 Gardner bullet fits perfectly in the tins.
There
are two styles of cap pouch, either
square
flap or copy of the 1850 and both
have
double waist belt loops. Choose one
when
ordering (Send your
waist measure
