Federal officers? These are clearly other ranks. Those kepis look a bit odd. Otherwise nice sculpts, if a little stumpy legged. Once again, the Mexican Revolution spanned roughly the years 1910 – 1920; thats's the 20th century. |

The term officer, when used in the contemporary sense, occurs in police and bureaucratic usage, and isn't appropriate to any ARMY of any period in describing other ranks – so why not just use the correct titles? I remain utterly baffled. |

A minor adjustment: with stripes painted on a sleeve, they could represent NCOs – but that's a pretty flimsy justification; most of them won't be NCOs on the tabletop. |
