Which of the figures are in the sack coat? |

I understood Berden's sharpshooters wore frock coats in the green. The pants were initially "sky blue" but later changed to a green. |

As far as I know, there were never any green sack coats issued, only frocks. Some of the frocks had light green piping on collar and cuffs. |

Apparently by Gettysburg most, if not all of the USSS were wearing standard Union uniforms. In the ORs there's a report that in the Spring they drew new clothing, including two standard "fatigue" uniforms. |

Poor wording on my part. I know the uniforms of this unit through their existence. What I am asking which of the actual castings represent a sack coat, as the Perry's in their Workbench area state that a couple of them are wearing sack coats. I am having a hard time identifying which are wearing the coat. |

Hope I'm right but it looks like the two prone figures firing
so it's the two prone at either side of the photo. |

Thanks for your answer, they were the ones that I had thought were in the sack coats and will paint them according. |
