Hey Rob, On your dummy on the left there is what looks like a coiled cord or something. It runs over the right shoulder and between the holster strap and the lanyard for the pistol. What might it be?

That would be my Captain Mannequin. The thing you're asking about is the shoulder strap to his canteen. The leather strap has been carefully covered with wool cloth that looks to me like it came from a soldiers puttee.

Thanks, Learn something new every day!

You're welcome. Ya know what cracks me up about this mannequin is that there is a very nice sword belt & hanger under the tunic as well as a nice officer's shirt - and ya can't even see them! Several hundred $$ are hiding there. Even on my full mannequin, I have stuff they would have had in the pockets, haversack & pack. I guess all that matters is that I know they are there. 8)

thats some fine photography , its working well for you , i like your displays , those japanese uniforms look very nice displayed on the manequins , and i do enjoy the accoutraments

Thanks! The accouterments and other period item add to the "context" of a display IMHO.
$350 Japanese canteen? Yikes!
