This term is very commonly used these days (I plead guilty -Big Ed.) for the charges in which a musketeer carries his powder. In C17th counts there are freguent mentions of these objects; Accounts books, Drill books, Supply orders, but in the 5O or so sources I have used, they are refered to as 'Bandillers' or 'Bandiliers of Charges'.
Are there any C17th sources quoting them as Apostles, or can someone track down the earliest reference to them as such? (standard prize here for the earliest reference - Dave)
