: Its interesting and disappointing: I'm also one of the producers of the Southern Illinois Renaissance Faire, which has, through circumstance ridiculous, heavy participation from both the SCA and the Medieval Combat Society. The MCS is there for the fun, boffing their way through the entire event with leather armour and foam swords. The SCA often just seems to sit in judgement.
But frankly, I doubt that someone from 1573 would sit around critiquing a peasant's choice of scarf. Reenactment, it seems to me, more a matter of choice of life than of how wide your eating knife blade was.
So I'm delighted to get a chance to slog along with my Cutlass, atl-atl, hopilite breastplate, rollerblades, and laser carbine. Not period? You lookin to join Davey Jones, mate?

Ive also seen two or three examples of a snaphaunce lock set into a tinderbox as a kind of mechanical match. Know they were common among the Rendezvous era types, so see no reason they shouldn't have been common at sea as well.
