Arms and Accoutrements
Non-commissioned officers and enlisted men carried a musket and bayonet. The muskets might have been the French "light 1763", the U.S. Model 1795 or even the British India Pattern. Cross belts were white, and there is no evidence that black belts were used by Marines during the War of 1812. The oval belt plate were of brass. Cartridge boxes (1808) were black leather, probably of the same pattern as for the army.
