GRANDE GUERRE DE 1914/1918, 1ère GM
A la demande de nombreux clients, nous allons vous proposer progressivement des copies de pièces d'époque ainsi que quelques originaux que l'on peut encore trouver (pour combien de temps?).
Des villages où des classes d'age entière ont été tuées au combat, 1/6 du territoire détruit, une guerre de tranchée horrible au milieu des rats, des cadavres, dans une boue omniprésente. Cette guerre signe le début de la guerre "moderne" et du massacre de masse, elle aura marquée toute une génération de français et sera le prélude à une autre guerre encore plus meurtrière, mais qui, pour le peuple de France n'atteindra pas la saignée de 1914/1918.

Infantryman of the 66th Line Infantry Regiment, September 1915. Replica uniform, period portable equipment.
Our client wished to pay tribute to his great-grandfather, killed during the Second Battle of Champagne, which included the Third Battle of Artois, in September 1915.
The main challenge was relying on period illustrations and surviving artifacts clearly dated to that era.
Indeed, the second half of 1915 was a period of extremely difficult supply.
The authorities had anticipated a short war, but it became bogged down in the trenches. The textile industry was located in German-occupied territory, forcing the army to resort to substitute products, to ersatz—a German word.
They made do with whatever they could find. Some went to the front wearing their own corduroy trousers and civilian boots.
They fashioned webbing from tent canvas and covered canteens with heavy, bluish canvas.
So much so that the French military authorities contacted their German counterparts, asking them to kindly refrain from executing, as spies, the French soldiers captured in what was practically civilian clothing. Despite the atrocious barbarity of the killings, certain rules remain acceptable between long-time enemies... While regulation uniforms pose no problem—we simply recreate the same "standardized" uniforms, based on reliable sources—we mustn't give the impression of dressing our infantryman like a vagrant by slapping him with anything resembling period civilian and military equipment—that would be a bit simplistic.
Therefore, we focused on incorporating period elements into this uniform, elements that we could find, consistent with photographs from that era, sometimes originating from families where they had been preserved. If we had to recreate them, we always used period materials. The whole project required a great deal of research, but the request came from one of our most loyal clients, and we were delighted to fulfill it and explore a different historical period. Mr. Vauvillier's plates depicting the field uniform of an early 1915 line infantryman proved to be particularly well-made and comprehensive.
Our client's ancestor was killed at the end of September, and the major changes to the uniforms that followed began in October!
We also created a uniform of the 66th Line Infantry Regiment during the Empire period for the same client.

WW I. French bayonet for Berthier rifle + Flask + leather belt
Lot including:
Bayonet for a Berthier rifle, in excavated condition.
Canteen without fabric lining.
Objects particularly emblematic of the Great War.
The canteen contained the "pinard" ration that helped soldiers endure the trenches. Every trick was used to increase the ration.
Some put beans in it to swell in water, others fired a blank cartridge into it with their Lebel rifle.
Sometimes it burst, sometimes it gave a little bonus.
Memories recounted by Maurice Guinhut, a soldier in 1914.
The braided belt is typical of the Great War. It was unregulated work done by recruits who knew how to work leather and sometimes had a lot of free time.

Vintage tan leather shoelaces, new old stock, made in France by Éts David. Price per pair
Thickness 2.20 mm x 2.70 mm on average, so not exactly square.
We found these laces in bundles, all attached to the leather plate from which they were cut (see last image), a very, very long time ago.
Length 80 cm. Limited quantity. The leather seems very strong, even when pulled on roughly—we tried it.
But if it's over 100 years old, it might not be the best choice for reenactment. In any case, we cannot guarantee its use for that purpose should it break.

Puffs for naval caps = Regulation pompoms for bachis approved in 1915
This type of pompom was approved by the maritime authorities in 1915.
The border features loops that one would not expect to find on sailors' pompoms.
Until 1870, the color of the pompoms, also called "shock absorbers" because their function was to cushion the impact of bumping one's head in the gangways, was blue and red!
The regulation of March 27, 1858, even specifies:
"This puff is composed of 112 strands of blue thread and 76 strands of madder thread."
The puff remained two-tone until February 21, 1870. The regulation then specified that it was composed of "150 strands of madder thread." The sailor's red pompom is therefore a relatively recent appearance, and its purchase or manufacture often remained the responsibility of the sailor, who was supposed to have time at sea... Except when repainting the boat, which was a major occupation for sailors.
In short, pompoms of extremely varied types can be found, and depending on the fashions of the time, sailors delighted in wearing designs that were quite different from the standards of the time.
Here are a few notable examples.

Puffs for naval caps = Regulation pompoms for bachis, 1913 model and before. Non-contractual photo. Price by one
As you can see on the sample plate (not for sale) from the port of Rochefort dated 1913, this type of pompom was approved by the maritime authorities.
The border features loops that one would not expect to find on sailors' pompoms.

In short, pompoms of extremely varied types can be found, and depending on the fashions of the time, sailors delighted in wearing designs that were quite different from the standards of the time.
Here are a few notable examples. Colours can be slightly different and also aspects of wool. We deliver them as we found them.

Jacket of cadet of Saint Cyr (officers school), with black armband (WWI ?)
Includes a jacket, moth-eaten and unstitched at the collar (see photos), oxydized buttons to clean if you wish to do so yourself.
On the left arm, a mourning armband, not specific to the Great War, since it was already authorized by regulations in the late 19th century, to be worn on the left arm in cases of family mourning.
There was, of course, mourning among the military even before the Great War, but few French families were untouched by the death of a loved one in combat, starting in 1914. It was likely during this period that the wearer of this uniform added this mark of mourning to their uniform.
Waist measurement: 74 cm.
Chest measurement: 88 cm. (for a very slim person!)
Interesting for the collection.

Blackened buttons for generals. WWI
Very quickly the beautiful shiny buttons were "neutralized" to avoid continuing to make the snipers happy.
The generals' buttons did not escape this phenomenon and their uniforms were very quickly equipped with blackened buttons, much more discreet.
We offer you a very limited stock of these buttons, coming from a stock that has been sleeping in an attic for decades.

FRANCE WWI. Half ball BLACKENED buttons for artillry, 10 and 15 mm. Old stock
Very old stock, but good condition, manufactured by David company during the First World War
They will be perfect to complete old outfits or for re-creations.
The 10 mm diameter buttons were used to attach the chinstraps of kepis, with buckles or with tabs on the back.
They can also be used for waistcoats, with metal buckle on the back.
From 1915, following the considerable losses of the French army, due in particular to the uniforms that were too flashy, the buttons were neutralized by blackening them, so that they would not shine, as was the case with the gold buttons, which made the enemy snipers happy

Fantassin du 66 ème de ligne, septembre 1915 ...translation later
Notre client a souhaité rendre hommage à son arrière grand père, tué lors de la seconde offensive de l'Artois en septembre 1915.
La difficulté majeure a été de se baser sur les illustrations de l'époque et les pièces parvenues jusqu'à nous et clairement datées de cette période.
En effet le deuxième semestre de 1915 est une période durant laquelle les approvisionnements sont très difficiles. Les autorités avaient prévu une guerre courte et elle s'enlise dans les tranchées. L'industrie textile est en zone occupée par les allemands et il faut se rabattre sur des fabrications de substitution, des ersatz...un mot allemand.
On fait alors "flèche de tout bois". Certains partent au front avec leurs propres culottes de velours côtelé, des brodequins civils. On confectionne des brelages en toile de tente, on recouvre les gourdes de grosse toile bleutée.
Autant les tenues règlementaires ne posent pas de problèmes...on refait la même chose qui est "uniformisée", à partir de bonnes sources.
Autant il ne faut pas non plus donner l'impression qu'on habille notre fantassin comme un clochard en l'affublant de tout ce qui peut ressembler à des équipements civils et militaires d'époque...un peu facile.
Nous nous sommes donc attaché à intégrer dans cette tenue des éléments d'époque que nous avons pu trouver dans des photos de cette période, ou provenant de familles dans lesquels ils avaient été conservés. Si nous avons du les refaire, nous sommes partis de matériaux d'époque.
Le tout a demandé beaucoup de recherches, mais la demande émanait d'un de nos plus fidèles clients et ça nous a fait plaisir de satisfaire sa demande et de changer un peu de période.
Nous mettons d'abord en ligne les éléments d'équipement, l'uniforme qui nous a servi de modèle (en mauvais état, mais 100 % d'époque) .
La copie que nous allons en faire suivra dans le cours du 1er trimestre 2019For price quote, contact us

Les fantassins de la grande guerre
Indispensable pour qui s’intéresse à ce conflit, car il traite des uniformes des nombreux belligérants impliqués, pas seulement les français, les allemands et les anglais, ce qui permet d'identifier des uniformes pas souvent décrits.
Ce livre permet aussi de retracer le rôle de l’infanterie à travers chaque phase importante du conflit, et son évolution suite aux changements dans la façon de faire la guerre.
Provenant à 90% du Musée royal de l’armée et de l’histoire militaire de Bruxelles, la sélection présentée – qui comporte uniquement des tenues et matériels portées par la troupe – permet d’apprécier les changements externes de ces armées entre 1914 et la fin de la guerre.

Guides Michelin des champs de bataille de la 1ère guerre mondiale
Ces petits guides ont accompagné dés 1919 une vague de tourisme mémoriel.
Les familles françaises qui avaient toutes été durement touchées par la guerre, se sont rendues sur les hauts lieux des batailles de la "Grande Guerre".
Ces petits guides sont remplis d'images prises durant le conflit qui nous donnent une idée de l'état désastreux dans lequel se trouvait la France.
Ils nous renseignent aussi sur des lieux et des itinéraires parfois oubliés.
Ils constituent en tous cas une mine d'informations précieuses sur les champs de bataille de la 1 ère guerre mondiale.

Copie de casque adrian.
Nous nous sommes posés la question de l'utilité de vendre de tels casques alors qu'il est possible de trouver de bonnes pièces à des prix raisonnables, mais....1) Abimer une pièce historique en la portant n'est pas forcément une très bonne idée, c'est comme ça que des objets assez abondants finissent par disparaitre. 2 ) Les tours de tête des "poilus" ne sont pas forcément adaptés à des têtes du XXI ème siècle, ces copies de casques sont plus facilement utilisables. Bref, nous nous sommes décidés à vendre ces casques, vos achats nous confirmeront, ou pas, si c'était une bonne idée.

Uniforme de conductrice, grande guerre
Voilà un uniforme sur lequel on dispose de bien peu de documentation.
Le descriptif est sommaire et laisse part à une large interprétation.
Ayant des portraits d'un de mes 2 grand-pères avec une tenue de simple soldat coupée sur mesure, je peux affirmer qu'entre le règlement et son application régnait une certaine latitude.
Les images de conductrices existantes présentent des femmes portant des manteaux en fourrure (les habitacles n'étaient pas chauffés), ou des ensembles jupe manteau qui cachent la veste.
Bref nous avons copié une tenue de femme assimilée militaire de la guerre de 14-18, qui aurait pu être portée par une conductrice, mais qui n'était pas précisément définie comme étant destinée à ce corps (très peu nombreux) en particulier.
L'insigne (pattes de col et béret) est par contre du modèle réglementaire.
Prix comprenant jupe + veste+ béret.For price quote, contact us

Capote Poiret 1916
Cette capote est réalisée à l'initiative de Laurent Mirouze, bien connu des rconstitueurs français pour ses ouvrages de références sur les uniformes de la Grande guerre.
suite à la demande de nombreux reconstitueurs qui étaient insatisfaits des proiductions asiatiques, il a décidé de réaliser tout d'abord des capotes respectant scrupuleusement les modèles règlementaires adoptés à partir de 1916.
Ces capotes fabriquées en Europe en toutes petites séries sont vraimlent impeccables, nous n'en avaons aucune en stock, nous les vendons q
Genèse d’une capote militaire
Les premières capotes dessinées par le couturier Poiret sont distribuées dès octobre 1914.
Le modèle est taillé en une seule pièce de drap pour tout le corps, deux grands chanteaux (pièces triangulaires) sont rajoutés en bas de part et d’autre. Boutonnage droit devant à l’aide de 6 gros boutons d’uniforme, manches sans parements ni boutons, col de forme « demi-chevalière », présence de 3 poches dont l’une à pansement à l’intérieur, patte de ceinturon, brides d’épaule. Toutes les coutures sont piquées à bord ouvert.
Le commandement est saisi d’une proposition destinée à améliorer le modèle : il s’agit de placer deux poches à l’arrière en toile suffisamment forte pour permettre d’y placer l’excédent de cartouches distribuées au combat. La notice du 9 décembre 1914 entérine cette disposition que vous trouvez sur notre modèle; d’autres améliorations sont apportées :
- pose d’une martingale à deux petits boutons
- deux poches de poitrine intérieures, l’une destinée à recevoir le livret individuel du soldat
- deux poches de poitrine au lieu d’une
- port des écussons d’unité aux deux angles du collet
Ce modèle est véritablement celui de l’année 1915, il est réalisé dans du drap bleu clair qui est rapidement désigné populairement « bleu horizon ». Les dotations seront complétées durant le 2e semestre 1916.
Le modèle est également celui porté par les unités engagées dans la bataille de Verdun qui débute le 21 février 1916. Cependant un certain nombre d’entre elles a subit une ultime modification, la plupart du temps réalisée dans les régiments même : la pose de deux poches de hanche en forte toile et renforcées par de la sangle, destinées à recevoir un ou deux paquets de cartouches défaits.
Nous vous proposons cette option avec coût supplémentaire.
