Anyone know what uniforms were worn by Russian forces during the 1863 Polish uprising ?
Spiked helmet as worn in the Crimea?

Most of the images I've seen show the Russian troops in kepis rather than the helmet

In the Russian army in 1862 a kepis was introduced.
But the old hats (shako) were replaced only as their service life expired (except for the guard). So during this period, the headgear of two samples was worn in the Russian army.

Kepi (without decorations that are not worn in the field)

You could use 1877 Russian Russo-Turkish figures for this 1863 uprising.
