Re-enacting

I have been taking part in 17th century re-enactment for over 30 years now and still regularly can be found firing my musket at events. I am interested in other periods but getting a whole load of extra kit could be off putting! I’d quite like to have a go in some armour one day…

Hopefully I’ll add some more articles to this as and when I think of a suitable subject. There are plenty of photographs of re-enactments to be found on this website.

These pages also contain articles that we first put on the world wide web in 1996 at our original website at www.vincents.demon.co.uk and then at www.12eyes.co.uk.
