Currently working on "Division Del Norte,'Brigada Villa'!" and "American Reconnaissance Corps, Johann Hessel's American Scouts" and possibly "ZARPs" , both these impressions derive from availability to purchase Mdl. 1895 Mauser Carbine or long tom in 7mm and use it and 5rnd.

      I find this particularly intriguing as I recently read a title describing Canada's NorthWest Mounted Police's early beginnings. The Great Adventure: How the Mounties Conquered the West, by David Cruise and Alison Griffiths re: Cmdt. French's expedition. Although armed with only carbine (Snider) and pistol both forces were similar in mission and character. NWMP distinguished themselfs in military action during 'Real's Meti Rebellion'. Thank you sincerely for this description of the ZARP and their service.

      Most helpful indeed as was the "Forces" description of Artillery units and their ordinance. Particularly liked the Martingale badge with leather backing as it puts item into scale perspective. Seeing the hat badge and martingale badge side by side I was at quandary as one was either very large or other was relatively small. American Cavalry martingale 'hearts' are almost 3" wide. Canadian 'NWMP' martingale badge,(Striking with Buffalo[bison] head in relief) is much smaller, closer to this ZARP martingale badge. Thanks again for all these related posts. As doing this impression is in its 'Early Beginings' stage here in USA we sincerely appreciate this accurate assistance.
