    Re: Question about flashes...

    when wearing knee pants in 18th century, garters are a simple thin leather strap with flat buckle.

    It would be an easy matter to slide a modern style flash over the strap
    I'm an 18th century guy born into the 20th century and have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
