Source for Federal Script???
« on: January 06, 2007, 03:33:16 PM »
OK,

I am putting together a Federal Berdan's Sharpshooter persona.  I have found a source for Northern Bank Notes and such, but not Federal pay script.  Does anybody know where I could find a source for Federal Pay Script?

The real stuff? Try ebay, I have found inexpensive coins, bank notes, other stuff from our era, also cheap reales I have made into concho's, etc. Have never looked for your item, but I'd try it.

Maj. Matt,

Since it is no longer legal tender, you could copy it, as many as you want!

Plus, let me try to upload some images oh 'horse blankets'. Be a moment.

Well, my files won't copy, I'll have to see if I can play with them. meanwhile:

I have two different 1862 one dollar bills, front and back
an 1862 five dollar note, F & B
an 1863 five dollar note, F & B,
and an 1863 twenty dollar note, F & B

More than happy to try to snail-mail you some copies if I cannot figure out how to upload.

Or just go here:
http://usrarecurrency.com/LargeSizeLegalTenderNotes.htm

and click on image to enlarge. Good detail. Take snapshot of current screen and save to your favorite graphics program. When you print them out, adjust for an actual image size of about 3 1/8" X 7 1/4" more or less. . . .

look back about 3 pages ago, I posted a bunch of pre 1868 currency pics, complete with quick instructions on printing.

Go here and talk to Bob Sullivan. He has a Paymaster's kit for 1 officer and 5 men with pay receipts. He should be able to find you some pay scrip. Tell him Frenchie from the Civil War Reenactors Forum sent you.
