Authenticity Standards
The 1812 US Marines & Navy maintain very high authenticity standards and are constantly undergoing research to improve their individual impressions and the impressions of the unit as a whole.
New Recruits are advised to consult a "veteran" member of the unit before purchasing any item of their kit.
The 1812 US Marines & Navy have many "in-house" makers of museum quality historic reproductions, and it is advised that members support these "in-house" sources as much as possible when purchasing or updating their kits.
The primary resource and supplier of the 1812 US Marines & Navy, is founder and member Mark Hilliard of Heart of Oak Historical Services (website coming soon - check back for updates!).
