That's not regiment specific, but does give some excellent sources of actual equipment and colour pictures of uniforms: link This one is site that has replica clothing. You may get some inspiration from it: fcsutler.com/fcusuniforms.asp For flags, try flagdude: link Well researched, excellent quality flags. Those are a start… Ryan |

Try and pick up a set of the ECHOES OF GLORY and also Don Triaonis books of his paintings of the ACW. There are a few other painters out there that have books also but I do highly reccomend to stay away from Mort Kuntsler and his art and books. To be blunt most of his stuff is just flat bad in my opinion. Colors are off as are the small details themselves. Right now John Paul Strain is one of the top to use.

Also for the best in Confederate colors go to Richmond Depot clothers for they have all the latest in what has been researched. Even better than what I have. I have a swatch sheet from them and I wear thier stuff. VS |
