Links to Traders and Sutlers: There are hundreds of suppliers of period trade goods, guns, shoes, clothing, to meet the needs of a reenactor.  This list is not meant as an endorsement of the suppliers shown, it is merely intended to be be a representative subset of the types of suppliers out there.  We recommend you do your research before you purchase: many items sold as period correct aren't period at all.
