Get in contact with the American Revolution Reenactors. Or your French and Indian War reenactors. Or the War of 1812 Reenactors (I'm sure you have somebody that reenacts the battle of Quebec somewhere in Canada). They'll have them and know where to get the good ones.

That was the britts not the Americans!! And thats a good deal on the hat...SanMarc. Depends on the war. During the Revolution, it was us that got stomped on at Quebec. During the earlier French and Indian war, the Brits actually captured Quebec. After getting the royal living hell beat out of them over it. I think there was another battle of Quebec in 1812, but considering Canada invaded the US in that war, I can't imagine it went well for us. @ Taran- Battle of Quebec? OH RIGHT! When we whupped the Americans (General Richard Montgomery was killed, Benedict Arnold was wounded, and Daniel Morgan and more than 400 men were taken prisoner.) and we came out with relatively small casualties? Ahh yes, that would be a good battle to re-enact! All that said, however, after running scared and surrendering when Alaska's entire Navy and Marine Corps (all 1 frigate and whole company of them) invaded over those fishing trawlers a few years back, the Canadians need SOMEthing to brag about...

Hum, can we go back to the tri-corn hat subject ... Many Canadians, during the Battle of Quebec, wore traditional leather tricorn hats, as did many of the Americans.

And the Canadians did manage to achieve a tri-corn hat surplus immediately after the battle. Which is better than the surpluses they had after the fishing trawlers incident back in the 90s...

Actually, just for the fun of looking into word's etymology, this hat's name means three horns. It's a French word, tricorne, from the Latin tricornis (tri =three, cornu(sing.)/cornis (plural)= horn), and a relatively new word: 1836! (according to LeRobert's dictionary of etymology). Look here, I think they have a few models: www.gggodwin.com/I know they had some real nice ones for sale in the boutique of one History museum in Montreal, so maybe try looking in History museum's boutiques around where you are? Good luck on your quest Elijah...

Lol, that is funny. Thank God ordnance wasn't explosive in those days ... Finding a WWI or WWII unexploded shell might've been a more stressful event (Although it would also have been an extremely unlikely event, too ...)

I was about to comment on there being a great deal of UXO from those 2 wars found even here, Stateside. Especially here, stateside (more rounds fired during training and testing than at the enemy).
Then I realized you meant that it would be extremely unusual to find one of those embedded UXO in your house...

LOL I have no doubt such rounds would be easy to find in an artillery/gunnery/whatever testing ground.

In And around. The gunners/bombers did miss the entire practice range on occasion. Still do. But a lot less often these days.
